She graduated from Seguin High School in 1977 and continued her studies at Southwest Texas State University. Brenda worked as an Optometry Technician and administrative assistant for many years. She was also a member of First Baptist Church in Seguin. Brenda was a fun spirited soul who embraced many passions. She was very creative and used her talents in many ways including cross stitch, sewing, and art. One of her favorite places was in the sand listening to the waves and soaking up the sun. Brenda also enjoyed baking and cooking. Every Christmas she loved making and sharing her famous "Puppy Chow" with all her friends and family. She loved music and enjoyed playing the piano. Later in life she took up gardening and was known by her neighbors to have the prettiest front yard. Brenda did not have any children, so her nieces and nephews were her pride and joy. With her beautiful youthful spirit, she always knew how to keep the kids entertained!Brenda is survived by her mother, Carole Schievelbein; sisters, Cyndi Johnson (Kyle), and Lori McCoy; brother, Timothy Schievelbein (fiancee Kelly Follis); nieces and nephews, Chasity Schneider (Bryan), Kelsey McCoy, Evan Schievelbein (Callie), Andi Schievelbein, Kara Linnens (Corey), and Kylee Johnson; great nieces and nephews, Chance, Tatum, Tripp and Ty Schievelbein, Brynley Grace Schneider and Gracie Belle Linnens; numerous cousins, other loving family members and many friends.
