Jamie Leigh Brizzee – January 4, 2013

scan0044_crop_crop

Livonia: January 4, 2013 at her home at age 30 years. She is survived by her parents Jack and Narda Brizzee of Livonia, brothers; Michael Brizzee of Buffalo and Corey Brizzee of Rochester, Grandfather Jack O. Brizzee of Canisteo, Aunts & Uncles, Cousins, and dear friends. Jamie was predeceased by great grandmother Elanor Brizzee, grandmother Rosalie Brizzee, grandfather Fred Mitchell, and grandmother Vera Mitchell. Jamie fought Cystic Fibrosis throughout her whole life. Her life motto was ‘live, love, laugh.’ Please help others as she loved helping others with health problems by becoming an organ donor and donate blood. Thanks to the teenager who was able to give Jamie a second life with a double lung transplant on April 3rd & 4th 2007! Loving thanks to all the doctors, nurses, and health-care providers who took excellent care of Jamie throughout her life. A special thanks to Ann McMullen NP and Rob Horowitz M.D. for all their exceptional care for Jamie.

In her early years as a child/teenager, Jamie was a Girl Scout advocate as she participated in every event and fundraiser held. She grew up swimming and playing softball in the summer. Most of Jamie’s favorite hobbies were outdoors whether it was hiking through her favorite state park, Stonybrook, or simply watching the chickadees on the birdfeeders. Jamie absolutely loved the summer; she was always out in the garden trying to help her mother with planting flowers or huge grape tomato plants. Jamie would go fishing from sunrise to sunset with only her fishing pole and a bucket of worms (she refused to use anything other than worms). When Jamie wasn’t laughing or smiling, she was probably complaining about the cold winter. Although she hated the winter, Jamie made the most out of it by keeping herself busy with arts & crafts. Jamie’s favorite indoor activities were knitting, cross-stitch, and anything that was considered a craft. When she wasn’t sewing or making puzzles, Jamie was reading Nicholas Sparks books or watching her favorite TV show ‘Everybody Loves Raymond.’ Jamie watched every episode of that TV show probably 50+ times and knew every saying. Jamie is now free to enjoy the things she loved with no restrictions.

Jamie was very family-oriented, she loved her brothers unconditionally, but Jamie and mom were like “peas and carrots (Forrest Gump reference).” Jamie was her mother’s rock and will always be remembered dearly. She would not want people to grieve for her, as she never grieved for herself. Jamie went throughout life with a sense of humor and always an insert-twist-pull kind of attitude. She will always be in our hearts and will surely be missed.

Friends may call Friday, January 11, 2013, from 5-8pm at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home Inc., 21 Big Tree Street, Rte 15 & 20A, Livonia. Services will be held at the funeral home on Saturday at 10:30am followed by burial at Union Cemetery, Livonia, NY.

A Special Poem from his Children

The time we had,Dad,
Wasn’t nearly enough
To pack in an entire
Lifetime of love.

There are are so many questions
That need answers to,
But now that you’re gone
There’s no way to ask you.

But there are still photos
To remember you by,
Each time we look at them,
We still want to cry

They say grief is easier
to bear as time goes by
But this doesn’t stop me
from wondering why?

Why our dear, sweet dad,
Was taken so soon,
When he was our guiding star,
Our sun and our moon.

There no answers
To a question like this,
So we will cherish your memory,
And mourn the years we will miss.
