Born in McKeesport, Pennsylvania in 1925, Magdalene was the beloved wife of her first husband Martin Brack, and of her second husband, William G. Reich, both of whom predeceased her. She is survived by four of her stepchildren: Brenda Brack Schmid, Martin Randolph Brack, William A. Reich, and Fernando (Fred) Reich. Her stepchild Patricia Brack Hannau predeceased her.
A self-styled, independent business woman, she owned and operated an export company in New York City until her retirement. Magdalene was an extraordinarily warm and caring person, who was a balm and inspiration to all who knew her, especially her large extended family to whom she was devoted. Donations in memory of Magdalene Reich may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or a charity of your choice.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul; He guideth me in straight paths for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
