Brenda Lee Zempel

Brenda Lee Zempel – Rochester

 

Brenda Lee Zempel, 62 of Rochester passed away peacefully on February 5, 2020 at Rochester East Health Services following an extraordinary battle with cancer.

Brenda was born on September 26, 1958 in Rochester to Raymond and Alice (Pike) Zempel. She graduated from Pine Island High School in 1976. She enjoyed a long tenured career at Kmart in SE Rochester. She was a tremendously kindhearted person who always put others first. She truly made a lasting impression on everyone she met. She also loved spoiling her nieces and nephews.

Brenda enjoyed traveling to sunny Southern California, making memories with her son Nathan, excursions to enjoy coffee at Caribou, and was an avid Professional Wrestling fan.

She is survived by her son Nathan of Rochester, her mother Alice Bicknese of Rochester, her three brothers Bruce (Gerry) of Austin, MN, Ernest (Lisa) of Rochester, Darwin (Tammy) of Rochester, and her sister Terri (Terry) Lee of Bloomington, IN.

She is preceded in death by her father and is reunited in love with Sheila, Lita, and Hershey, her beloved dogs.

A Celebration of Life visitation for Brenda will be held on Saturday, February 8, 2020 from 11:00AM until 3:00PM at High Point Church (4545 N Frontage Rd, Rochester, MN 55901).
