Today we were afforded the very special honor of serving two wonderful families as they shared farewells for now to their loved ones. Bridgette Grizzle was an incredible woman of faith who showed her loved ones and the world how to keep the faith and endure during challenging time. I knew and loved her dearly. Gwendalena Okai was an incredible woman of faith who made the world a better place. Seeing loved ones fill the Funeral Home was a testament of just that.

Serving two families on the same day, during overlapping times is a first for our young funeral home. It’s not a flex, but an incredible privilege that would have been impossible without the work of my family and staff. Grateful for them, and grateful for the trust of these two wonderful families.

Bridgette Grizzle

Bridgette Yvette Grizzle, departed this world on January 2nd, 2026, at the age of 64. Born on March 27, 1961, in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, she was a cherished daughter of Leenell and Erskin Martin, who lovingly nurtured her from the very beginning. Bridgette's vibrant spirit lived through every friendship and family bond she cultivated, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know her.

Growing up in a household filled with love, Bridgette was the eldest of four siblings. Her watchful demeanor provided comfort to her beloved brothers, Tracy, Brian, and Erskin. It was this warm spirit that embodied her early years, full of rich experiences in church, neighborhood, and family life.

Her academic journey began at Little Flower Elementary School and continued through Girls Catholic High and Chestnut Hill College. With accolades for research during her studies, Bridgette consistently rose to the pinnacle of her classes, demonstrating a commitment to excellence that would follow her throughout her professional career.

In her professional life, Bridgette made remarkable strides in the pharmaceutical industry. Her tenure at Teva Pharmaceutical Industries was marked by significant achievements in regulatory affairs, playing a pivotal role in the development of numerous small-molecule and biologics programs.

Beyond her professional commitments, Bridgette embraced the richness of life with unyielding passion. Her devotion to her family included her first marriage to Eddie Speights Sr., and together they welcomed a son, Eddie Speights Jr.. She and Mike Simpson welcomed a daughter Mikayla who joined Eddie in being the light of Bridgette's life. As life blossomed around her, she derived joy from being a mother, and later, a grandmother to precious Chloe. The love she poured into her family was immense and unwavering.

As she navigated both the challenges and joys of life, Bridgette found serenity and solace in the companionship of her special friends—Benita, Jackie, Cheryl, Tula, Shelia, Sherri, and countless more. Each friendship added a unique hue to her life’s canvas. She also loved her pets—Kayla, T**i, Yogi, and Mecca—who brought comfort and joy into her everyday moments.

Bridgette carried a profound faith that formed the backbone of her existence, beginning each day with the inspiration of a Bible verse. This practice not only uplifted her spirit but also served as a guiding light for others. In times spent in worship and fellowship, she made lasting contributions within her church community, spreading warmth and encouragement wherever she went.

We thank God for her life and her living!

Rose Strunk

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rose Ann Strunk, affectionately known as Rosie, who departed this world on January 1, 2026, at the age of 71, in St. Luke’s Hospital, Monroe Campus. Born on June 25, 1954, in the charming town of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, she was the cherished daughter of William Ehrgood Jr. and Viola Rehm, both of whom predeceased her.

Rosie's journey through life was marked by deep love and enduring commitment. She shared her life’s path for an incredible 41 years with her beloved husband, Charles Strunk, in the picturesque surroundings of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, where they built a life rich in love and togetherness. Their marriage was a testament to the beauty of companionship, cultivated through mutual respect and joy in each other's presence.

Her love extended to her siblings, Carol Frederick and Dawn Lee, and to the many nieces and nephews, whom she adored as if they were her own.

Professionally, Rosie made her mark as a Medical Scheduling Specialist at Geisinger in Mt Pocono, where her diligence and compassion left an indelible impact on both her colleagues and patients alike. A proud graduate of East Stroudsburg High School, she embraced opportunities for growth and learning throughout her life.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Rosie was a woman of simple pleasures and profound joys. An avid crafter, her favorite tradition involved creating special Christmas ornaments with each family member, a practice that filled her with delight and fostered cherished memories. She took immense pleasure in hosting family gatherings, often showcasing her culinary skills, as these moments brought her the greatest happiness.

Rosie also embraced the outdoors, enjoying fishing trips with her family and indulging in her passion for golfing. Her spirit was imbued with a sense of adventure and a zest for life that was infectious; she lived her life to the fullest, embodying a philosophy of living without regrets.

She was also a devoted pet owner to her dog, Stewie, whose companionship added warmth to her days. As we reflect on Rosie’s life, we remember a woman who wore her heart on her sleeve, a simple woman whose love and laughter resonated deeply within all who knew her.

As we bid farewell to Rosie, let us celebrate the beautiful legacy she leaves behind—a legacy woven into the hearts and lives of her family and friends, who will forever hold her close in their memories. Rosie’s light will undoubtedly continue to shine brightly in the stories that will be shared and in the traditions that will carry forth her spirit.
