Brigitte K. Sinton died on Tuesday, July 11, 2023 at the age of 79. She was born Brigitte Josefine Huberta Gabriele Kroh in Teplice, Czech Republic on March 19, 1944 to the late Hubert Ernst and Elisabeth (Kühnhackl) Kroh.

Brigitte came to the United States with her parents and brother Hubert in 1948. They passed through El Paso, TX before settling in Huntsville, AL. After graduating from Huntsville High School she earned an Associate of Arts degree from Sacred Heart College, a Bachelor of Arts in languages from Georgetown University, and a Master of Arts from Vanderbilt University. Brigitte worked as a translator and German teacher before beginning her career at The Intergraph Corporation in Huntsville, AL. There she met David Fredrick Sinton, and in 1984 they were married. In 2004 they moved to Melbourne Village, FL where Brigitte worked on the continuing population census for the US Census Bureau, was elected to the board of trustees of the American Heritage Foundation, and served as treasurer for the Space Coast League of Women Voters.

Her greatest pleasure in life was traveling the world, especially Europe, where she and Dave spent many happy vacations exploring and visiting their families.

She is survived by her husband, David Sinton; three nephews, Michael (Kelly) Kroh, Houston; Timothy (Sarah) Kroh, Austin; and Matthew (Katherine) Kroh, Denton, TX.
