Funerals Set for Ellicott City Shooting Victims

  • Deceased's name: Mary-Marguerite Kohn, Brenda Brewington

Funerals are scheduled this week for Mary-Marguerite Kohn, priest at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, and Brenda Brewington, an administrator at the church.

Kohn, 62, of Arbutus, and Brenda Brewington, 59, of Ellicott City were both killed in a shooting Thursday night at St. Peter’s.

A friend of Kohn’s family said that the family wanted to donate her organs.

In a sermon at a Boston church, the speaker said Kohn’s organs “will give new life to many, in ways most of us can only imagine.”

From Virginia to Massachusetts, Missouri to Querétaro, México, churches sent their condolences to St. Peter’s on Facebook.

Shelly Amsden wrote: "It is almost 7 a.m. here and I know you are having a service just about now. I wish I could be there. Please know I am with you all in spirit as I cry typing this post. Stay strong!" 

And a simple: "Sending prayers your way. Heartbreaking" from Larry Bostian.

A memorial service was held Sunday for Kohn and Brewington

Kohn’s funeral is scheduled for Tuesday, May 8, at 3 p.m. at the Cathedral Church of the Incarnation, 4 East University Parkway, Baltimore, MD.
