Brenda suddenly passed away January 31, 2024 in her home she shared with her life partner Richard Widmer. She is survived by her daughter Candace (Anthony) Widmer, granddaughter Aria, siblings (Joe, Elsie, Theresa) and several nieces and nephews. She also had several people she called chosen family. She loved animals and time spent with family and friends. Always willing to have a coffee and a chat. She liked to be an ear for people; she was a good listener. Her wit and humor was always welcome no matter how harsh she may have come across. Her heart was always in the right place. She is now forever in our hearts and memories. Rest easy, mom (Brenda). ❤️ Celebration of life to be announced.
