Brenda Lake Wied
Resident of Danville

Brenda Lake Wied, 52, of Danville, California passed away on October 23,
2006. She is survived by her loving husband, John M. Wied; and children,
Brandon, Allison and Michael; her mother, Gracie Hancock and husband,
John Hancock of San Antonio, Texas; sister, Linda Cain and husband, Lysle
of Miami, Florida; brother, Bruce Lake and wife, Mandy of San Antonio,
Texas; step-father, Billy Rhodes of Baytown, Texas; and father, Clement
Lake of San Angelo, Texas. Brenda was born in Wareham, MA, on October 22,
1954. She graduated from McCollum High School in San Antonio and went on
to graduate from Texas A&M. She then joined the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency where she had a very successful 28-year career. The light
of Brenda's life was her family. There was a special sparkle in her eyes
when she would see Brandon, Allison or Michael do well and reach a goal
they had set for themselves. Nothing gave her more joy than bringing
happiness to those around her and making everyone feel special even
if you were meeting her for the first time. A special thanks to Hope
Hospice of Dublin, CA for all their help and support. Brenda will be
deeply missed by her family and all who ever knew her as a friend. In
lieu of flowers, please make donations in her name to the charity of
your choice. A private family graveside service was held on October 28,
2006 at the Garden of Memories cemetery in Kerrville, Texas. A memorial
service is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at the San Ramon Presbyterian Church,
12943 Alcosta Blvd, San Ramon, CA on Sunday, November 12, 2006.
