Brenda was a dedicated servant for the people. She applied to her life the strong work ethic she learned being raised on a farm. She served as an Office Manager at the Harvester License Office for over 30 years and never let anyone pass through without helping them. She offered a smile to everyone and made their day brighter.
Brenda was an amazing mother and a second mother to anyone who needed one. She put everyone's needs before hers and was truly selfless. She was a devoted grandmother, her grandchildren were the true light of her life. She loved spending time with them and attending their various activities or taking them fishing. Brenda loved traveling "home" to the farm to visit her brother and sisters.
Brenda's amazing, strong spirit allowed her to beat lung cancer in 2006. She continued to endure and conquer more health battles in the 16 years following. She celebrated her success by attending the Lung Cancer Connection's annual event.
