Susan Geers Brenders' Obituary
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Susan Geers Brenders, a woman whose strength, unwavering resilience, and tireless dedication defined her life. Sue passed away at her home, surrounded by the love of her family.
Sue's life was a testament to the power of her hard working spirit and generous heart. She faced every challenge head-on, never compromising her authentic real nature. If you wanted an honest opinion, you asked Sue. She built a life focused on stability and love, always providing a strong, dependable presence for those who needed her most.
Above all else, Sue was a devoted mother and grandmother. Her family was the center of her universe, and she lived by the creed of always putting her family first, making countless sacrifices to ensure their happiness and success. Her unconditional love and constant support created a powerful bond that will forever be a source of comfort for them.
Even as life kept her busy, Sue found joy in simple pleasures. She was a devoted cat lover, and had a deep appreciation for music, with a special place in her heart for the genius Brian Wilson, whose harmonies often provided the soundtrack to her life.
Sue's memory will be eternally cherished by her loving children Heidi Reinhart (Shawn Kessel), and Brad (Meghan) Brenders and her grandchildren Alyssa, Sarah, Veronica, Cadey and great grandson Matthew, her nephew David (Angela) Geers and great niece Aurora and a community of family and friends who were touched by her kindness and grit. She is preceded in death by her parents John and Carol(nee Lerch) Geers, Brother John Geers and nephew Johnny Geers.
