Affectionately known as “Grandma,” by her grandchildren, Brenda’s greatest joy was her family. She was deeply devoted to those she loved, her local community and her work, spending over 40 years in accounting with Crown Petroleum and later Valero. Brenda was a gracious lady who carried herself with warmth, kindness, and quiet strength. She had a natural gift for making others feel welcome and was known for her friendly smile and willingness to always lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She loved meeting new friends, dancing, and cherishing every moment with her family. Her presence was a blessing to many, and she will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved her. The family would like to thank Sterling Oaks Assisted Living & Memory Care for their compassionate care and support.
