Obituary
Brenda was born on May 15, 1959 in Cleveland Ohio. She moved to Calif. at the age of 5 with her parents and her sister. The youngest brother joined the family later. The family moved a lot, but stayed mostly in Orange County, CA. She started working at age 18 for Bivar, Inc. first in Santa Ana until the company moved to Irvine. She worked there for approx. 28 yrs. We lost our mom in 2007 and Brenda never fully stopped grieving over her loss.
Brenda my little sis went to be with the Lord and our parents on May 21st, 2010 at 5:20 P.M. She had suffered cardiac arrest on May 17th two days after her 51st birthday and was deprived of oxygen to the brain. She was in a coma for 5 days until she was taken off life support due to lack of brain activity.
Brenda is survived by her older brothers Ken of AZ, Ron of OH, Jerry of CA; her big sis Sandy of CA; three sister-in-laws and a brother-in-law; four nephews, two nieces, their spouses and their children. She is also survived by her Uncle Clifton, Aunt Hazel and Aunt Lucille, many cousins and many friends who loved her dearly. Brenda was a beautiful baby, little girl, young woman and then adult woman. She was also one of the kindest, most generous people we’ve ever known. She will be missed dearly by all that knew her.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the American Heart Assoc. in Brenda’s name or to your favorite charity.

For Bren’s loved ones
My Soul has reached
the highest of skies.
He has taken my hand,
He has shown me why.
It is all so beautiful,
I want you to know~
everywhere around me
the colors of His rainbow.
It is time for me to be here,
it is time for me to fly…
Sandy, I am here beside you,
family I hear you cry.
Know in your heart~
this is not goodbye.
You will see me again
in His beautiful blue sky.
He will take your hand,
He will show you why.
Together again
our Souls will fly.
I will miss you my friend

Sweet Brenda. Even though there was distance miles and time between us, I feel the loss so deeply. Another loved family member gone. You will be so missed.
Sandy & family – I always remember Brenda as being concerned about everyone else before herself. A kind, giving, sweet girl.
It gives me some comfort to picture her being welcomed by the open arms of your mom and dad and my brother Terry. My thoughts are with you.

My memories of Brenda are of how beautiful she was as a girl and how sweet she always was. There was always that beautiful smile. I pray that each day the Lord will fill grieving hearts with peace and that He will overwhelm the grief with his love.
With prayers and love,
Jeannie
