Obituary for Sean S. Brosnan

Sean S.  Brosnan
AUGUSTA, MAINE
Sean S. Brosnan, age 76, peacefully passed away on Sunday, February 26, 2017 in the presence of loved ones. He was born in County Kerry, Ireland on December 22, 1940 a son of the late Michael and Margaret E. (O’Connor) Brosnan.
Sean earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Education from the University of Maine, and was a substitute teacher in the Augusta School System for several years. He also owned and operated Brosnan’s Upholstery for over 40 years. Prior to moving to the United States, Sean was proud to have had the unique opportunity of being employed by Cambridge Scientific Instruments working with cutting edge scanning electron microscope technology.
One of his greatest joys was spending the summers camping in Acadia with his beloved wife, Margie. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren, and enjoyed travel and adventures-- usually at the drop of a hat. Sean was a pillar and a lighthouse of good humor, for all who knew him. He will fondly be remembered for his quick wit, big heart, mischievous grin, and his appreciation for a piping hot cup of tea.
Sean was a communicant of St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church.
He was pre-deceased by his first wife, Dolores (Choate) Brosnan; a brother, Michael Brosnan and two sisters: Patricia Brosnan and Maura Griffin.
He is survived by his wife, Margaret (Brann) Brosnan of Augusta; two sons: Brendan Brosnan and his wife Heather of Bonney Lake, WA and Brian Brosnan and his significant other Marcia Bilyeu of Seattle, WA; his daughter, Kathleen Brosnan of Hallowell; two brothers: Billy Brosnan and Timmy Brosnan both of Ireland; three sisters: Kathleen Bowen of Wales, Pauline Locke of England and Anne O’Sullivan of Ireland; four grandchildren: Stephen, Christopher, Devon and Madeline Ann; his sister-in-law, Eileen Brosnan of Ireland; a brother and sister-in-law, Everett and Shirley Brann of East Winthrop, ME, as well as many nieces, nephews and other loved ones.
At his request, there will be no public visiting hours or funeral service. A private Celebration of Life will be held for immediate family members and burial will take place in the spring.
