Brenda Beatty, 46

Our beloved Brenda Beatty passed away Sunday, May 15 at the age of 46. She was born in Panorama City, Calif., to Richard and Juanita Schiavoni on April 29, 1976, and was raised in Reseda, Calif. Brenda had an infectious spirit who loved the Lord and passed this Love for God and his word to her children and those around her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Larry, and her five children. She was a doting and loving mother to her three sons: Hunter, Micah and Jacovie, as well as to her two daughters, Jaedyn and Ezriella.

Brenda immediately lit up any room she entered and made an impact on so many people. She was a joyful person with an amazing heart, beautiful smile, creative fashion choices and bubbly personality. She loved her friends and family and filled her home with warmth and kindness. She spent 20+ years homeschooling her kids and loving them to the fullest. Brenda loved hanging out with her kids and friends and family. We will miss her greatly.

“You never said I’m leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knew why. A million times we needed you, a million times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place that no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God took you home.” Author unknown.

She is preceded in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents and her father. Her smile and determination to see any obstacle through were greatly appreciated and they will be greatly missed.

A celebration of life will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, June 4, at Grace Bible Church, 151 W. Prairie Ave., Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
