Brenda married the love of her life, Edwin Heisler, on January 23, 1965 and lived in Amelia, Ohio and began her family. In 1968, Brenda accepted Christ as her Savior, and walked a Godly life. In 1971, Brenda and Edwin returned to their roots and moved back to Adams County, Ohio. Brenda was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother and was a beloved friend to many. Brenda loved the Lord, her family, and children. She enjoyed teaching Sunday School, and was usually surrounded by kids in her pew. She had a kind, friendly spirit, and could strike up a conversation with a stranger and by the end have a new friend. She served as a pastor’s wife and volunteered at the Adams County Crisis Pregnancy Center. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends until we reunite in Heaven.
Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, November 2, 2022 at 1 p.m. at the Thompson-Meeker Funeral Home in West Union with Bud Ritchie officiating. Visitation will be held from noon until the time of the service. Burial will follow in the West Union Cemetery.
