Nana was born 12/22/1910 in Los Angeles to Parents, George and Mary Arnerich. 
She met the love of her life, Herman Crede as a young child and always knew in 
her heart she would one day marry him. They were wed on 9/12/1932 and theirs 
was a true love story. They were blessed with many happy years together before 
the Lord called Herman home in 1982. Nana later moved to Bakersfield to be 
closer to her daughter. She made her home in Kern City Retirement Community 
and she had countless friends and neighbors who visited often and loved her 
dearly. She was recently awarded the Key to Kern City in appreciation and 
recognition for all her time and effort on the many committees she was 
involved with. Among the many clubs she served on were Minus One, the Sewing 
Club, the Social Club, and the Christian Womens Fellowship.

Nana led a very active life filled with love and devotion. She was an ordained 
Eucharistic Minister at St. Philips and every week she gave Holy Communion to 
the sick and the elderly in our local convalescent hospitals. She also 
belonged to St. Margaret Marys YLI, Womens Club, Philippians 50+, and St. 
Philips Health Team. God blessed Nana with many gifts. She was a lady in every 
sense, filled with kindness, compassion, dignity and grace. Nana will remain 
in our hearts and those of our childrens always.

Nana was preceded in death by her parents ; husband, Herman; sister, Marie 
Cowan; brother, Anthony Arnerich; sons-in-law, Bert Bruns Sr., and Jim 
Palermo; and grandson, Jimmy Palermo. Nana is survived by her loving family, 
brother, Vincent Arnerich & wife, Helen; sister-in-law, Mary Arnerich; 
children, Mary Lou Bruns, Barbara Palermo and Bob and Jeanette Crede; 
grandchildren, Laurie and Kelley Cloughly, Bert Bruns Jr., Lisa and Pete Cook, 
Kathy and German Digoy, Mary and Tim Denari, Tom Bruns, Marcy and Michael 
Booth, Melissa and Daniel Hawken and Michelle Crede; 12 great-grandchildren; 
and many nieces and nephews.

Proverbs 31: 28-31

Her children rise up and praise her; her husband, too, extols her. Many are 
the women of proven worth, but you have excelled them all. Charm is deceptive 
and beauty fleeting; the woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her a 
reward of her labors, and let her works praise her at the city gates.

The family wished to sincerely thank Optimal Hospice and Nancy Nusbaum from 
Comprehensive Care Systems for their kindness and understanding while caring 
for our Nana.
