Brenda Mae Mountney

Brenda Mountney was born in Foam Lake, Saskatchewan and raised on the family farm South of Leslie, Saskatchewan by her father, Gunnar Nordal and her mother, Helen Rose. Brenda is survived by her daughters Amanda and Elissa (grandchildren Andreas, Talia, Mia and Creedence) and sons Matthew (Kelsey) (grandchildren Maximus, twins Niki and Lilly) as well as son Eric.  Brenda has two siblings, sister Joanne and her children Darcy, Tasha (Devan), and brother Howard who has three children, Kaitlyn, Braden and Krystin. She also has many nieces, nephews, cousins and grandchildren. Brenda is predeceased by her father Gunnar, grandparents Lois and Jim Rose, and by a brother, Wilmar.

Brenda was a beautiful, happy little girl who loved helping her dad with chores and playing outside with her sister and brothers.

When she got older, she liked to help mom, planting flowers and gardens.When mom and dad were busy with harvest, she took over the cooking. She became a great cook. It was only a couple of weeks ago that my mother was showing me how to make wraps (still can’t make them right).

Brenda was a member of the Elfros 4-H Club and loved grooming and showing calves.

Her education was completed at Wishart and Foam Lake. After finishing high school, she moved to Saskatoon and started her career working in nursing homes. She also spent time with her career in Regina, and finally moved to Yorkton where she continued in the same field.

Two years ago, Brenda was diagnosed with breast cancer and fought long and hard.  She succumbed to liver cancer on August 8, 2024.

She will be greatly missed by family and friends.
