Dreama Carroll Brunetti, 71, of Bridgeport, WV, passed away at her home on Tuesday, September 16, 2014.
Dreama was born in Beckley, WV, to the late Cyrus Beuren and Hallie Jo Garten on January 20, 1943. She went to high school at Washington Irving in Clarksburg, WV, and graduated in 1960. She married Anthony John (Tucker) Brunetti on October 1, 1960, at Immaculate Conception church in Clarksburg, WV, and celebrated 53 years of marriage. Dreama and Tucker remain members of All Saints Catholic Church in Bridgeport.
Dreama dedicated her life to caring for her family, especially her four children, maintaining a loving home on the family farm for the last 47 years. Outside of supporting her children’s extracurricular, academic, and sports activities, she enjoyed reading, gardening, and shopping, and she relished watching and discussing current events and politics. Dreama and Tucker also shared a passion for antiquing and collecting a variety of West Virginia and Ohio pottery, especially blue Hall China. Dreama had a quick wit and strong personality, and she maintained her trademark humor and incisiveness throughout her life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her beloved husband, Tucker, Dreama is survived by four children and 10 grandchildren: son John (Cheryl) Brunetti (children Sandra, Anthony, and Jack) of Huntington, WV; son Chris (Dennie) Brunetti (children Samuel, Zachary, and Isaac) of Charleston, WV; son Scott (Jamie) Brunetti (children Madison, Trystan, and Savannah) of Charleston, WV; and daughter Tiffany Brunetti-Clymer (daughter Wren) of Columbus, OH. She also is survived by: sister Cheryl Romano of Clarksburg; brothers Rudy (JoAnn) Garten of Lexington, KY, and Greg (Kat) Garten of Atlanta, GA; sisters-in-law Patty Garten, Annetta (Jess) Vasquez and Jennifer Schellenberg; aunt Sandra Whitehair; and step brother-in-law Regis Ellis.
In addition to her parents, Dreama was preceded in death by her brother, Beuren Garten.
The family would like to thank all who provided assistance with Dreama’s care in recent months, especially Hospice nurses, aides, and caregivers. A special thank you to Kim Stevens-Watson and Vicky Davis for on-going attention and support.
