Meta Marie Brandl

February 25, 1944 — August 25, 2020

Meta Marie Brandl, age 76, passed away peacefully Tuesday, August 25, 2020 at the Novant Harris Hospice house in Charlotte, NC.

Born on February 25, 1944 in Dickinson, ND to Fred and Mildred Miller (Strommen). She graduated high school and attended college in Minneapolis, MN and received her bachelor’s and master’s degree in social work & education from South Dakota State University in Brookings, SD.

Meta had an outsized influence in the lives of man, over 3 decades of service to families and children throughout the greater Omaha / Council Bluffs area as a family therapist. She loved her interesting, challenging and often times frustrating work, and from the many cards, photos and letters she received (sometimes many years later) from former clients, they loved her too. Apart from her work, she enjoyed traveling to Colorado with her partner Diana, visiting and receiving family, especially around Thanksgiving; enjoyed card playing with family (pinochle!) and watching her Nebraska Cornhuskers on TV. More than anything, she loved reading a good book.

Meta is survived by her two sisters, Juline Miller (Cindy) and Loa Jean Orvik (Michael); two sons, Greg and Mark Brandl; five grandchildren, Seth, Jaylen, Haydn, Lukas and Kirsten Brandl; as well as a niece and nephew, Christa and Erik Orvik.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Mildred, and her life partner, Diana Miller.

A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2020 at Hoy Kilnoski Funeral Home.
