Chauncy Brua, 81, of Owatonna, MN passed away April 16, 2015.
Chauncy was born December 27, 1933, along with his twin brother, in Albert Lea, MN, to Leonard and Minnie Brua. He graduated from Albert Lea High School in 1951 and attended Mankato State University (MSU). After three years he joined the army, and then graduated from MSU in 1958. He received his masters in 1964. In July of 1960 he married Glenys Ann (Peterson).
Chauncy taught in Garden City, Medford and Owatonna for forty-four years. In his younger years he was an accomplished wrestler, but his passion after college, outside of his family and career, was golf.
He is survived by his sons, Guy of Eagan, Kyle (Lisa) of Maple Grove, Wade (Andrea) of Savage and Brett of Bloomington; eight grandchildren, Erik, Keely, Jacob, Ethan, Megan, Nichole, Hanna, and Greta; two brothers, Harvey and twin Charles of Albert Lea, and his sister Frances Petersen of Warren.
Chauncy was preceded in death by his wife (2007), parents, and three brothers, Howard, Oyer, and Gerald, of Albert Lea.
The family would like to thank the staff of the Brookdale Senior Living, especially Clare Bridge of Plymouth, for the care they gave to Chauncy. We are grateful for the days we had with him and we will carry on his memory.
