HEATHER BRENAN

HEATHER DAWN BRENAN (nee POPIEL) March 30, 1943 - January 28, 2012 We are saddened to announce the sudden death of Heather Dawn Brenan on January 28, 2012, aged 68 years. Heather leaves to mourn her daughter Dana, aunt Gertie Zokowsky, and numerous cousins and friends, particularly Nayda Northage, Devi Gershbain, and Debby Kanuiga-Benstead. She was predeceased by her parents Walter and Eloise. Born and raised in Winnipeg Heather was a long time employee of the Winnipeg Free Press, Composing Department. She immensely loved her job, and took great pride in everything she did there. Her hobbies included photography, gardening, needlework, baking, the Kennel Club and her dog Lucy. She could not wait to babysit friend's dogs and had toys and treats ready at all times. Her daughter wants to especially thank Nayda for being with Heather in the days leading up to her death. Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. Flowers are gratefully accepted but donations may be made in her memory to a charity of your choice. 586-8044

  • Heather took on the role as being a Neighbourhood Watch Co-Captain in the spring of 2007. As a deep-rooted community minded person she has encouraged neighbours to know each other, to share concerns, issues, ideas and solutions. Most of all she recognized the importance of “taking back” her community. A kind and gentle person – she will be missed. Condolences to her family and friends. Rest in Peace. Love Heather (Crime Prevention)

  • With a heavy heart, I type this message to acknowlege the loss of my dearest friend Heather. She was more like a sister than a friend, sharing her mother and her daughter with me. For the most part life is good, but there are times when it just plain sucks and this is one of those times. I will kiss the little one for you Heather. Love always. Debby

  • Heather will be sorely missed. Growing up as her neighbor was a joy. When I came home to visit from where ever I was living at the time I always went over for tea and we would chat for hours. Heather was a warm and loving person who loved life to the fullest. I’ll miss her daily emails, her humor and charm but most of all I will miss her. Dana your Mom may have been my sister’s age but I loved her as if she were mine. My heart goes out to you and all those who had the absolute pleasure of knowing her. Love Cheryl
