Obituary of Seraphin (Sarry) Brennan

SERAPHIN PADAMADAN BRENNAN Seraphin (Sarry) Brennan, 46 of Silver Lake, passed away peacefully on March 6, 2015 wrapped in prayer with her husband, Philip and their children, Faith, Joshua, Sarah, Lewis and Maria by her side. Sarry was born on September 8th, 1968 at Mercy hospital in Chicago, IL, to parents, Geeji (Balummel) of Kannamaily, Cochin and William Padamadan of Aluva, Kerala, India. She spent her early years living in Chicago then attended Kodaikanal International School in Tamil Nadu, India for her high school; returning to the United States to attend college at the University of Akron and later to complete a Masters in International Business at the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale Arizona. Sarry met her husband, Philip Brennan, while working at Rubbermaid in Wooster Ohio. They were married on June 28, 1999 in Belfast, Ireland and lived for a brief time in New Jersey, both working in the confectionery industry. Following the birth of their first child Faith, she and her husband, Phil, moved closer to family and friends, to Silver Lake, Ohio and focused on growing and raising their family. Sarry then decided she would apply the same passion and thoughtfulness she had demonstrated as a business executive, into the nurturing and development of her children. She provided them with a solid and loving foundation in their faith and was a constant source of joy and counsel to many others. Nothing was more important to Sarry than her church, being of service to family and friends and hosting Easter celebrations. Sarry was preceded in death by her brother, Dr. Louis Padamadan and is survived by her husband, Philip; children, Faith, Joshua, Sarah, Lewis and Maria; parents Geeji and William Padamadan; siblings Judy (Robert) Horacek and Asha (David) Soulsby; nephews and nieces, William Padamadan, Joseph and Priya Soulsby, Thomas, James, Annie, Issy, Lucy, Felix, Archie and Marcus Brennan, Patrick, Jack and Harry Heron; and her In-laws, Geraldine, Eamonn, Nicholas, Una, Patrick and Jill Brennan, Rachel and Jonathan Heron.
