Brenda Adele Wilde, 84, passed away peacefully at her home in Roy on Friday, October 4, 2024.

Born, October 8, 1939, in Ogden, Utah, Brenda was the third of four children of Clifford Alton and Norma Iola Bever Wilde.

Raised and schooled in Ogden, Brenda graduated from Ogden High School and went on to earn her master’s degree from Utah State University and became a high school teacher.

She taught at Bonneville High School and transferred to Roy High in 1975, moving to Roy in 1976. After retiring from teaching, she went to work for IRS, retiring a second time after many years there.

Brenda loved to travel the world and visit as many countries as she could. She has been to almost every continent of the world. She has been to Israel, China, and Russia, traveled throughout Europe and Scandinavia, and even rode the Orient Express, and she has visited Australia and New Zealand, as well as Mexico, Central, and South America. Many of these trips were either were her fellow teachers and students or just fun trips with her cousins.

Brenda was always impeccably dressed. When she wasn’t traveling, she enjoyed quiet time to herself at home. She loved the color pink and was known to her high school friends as “Pinky.”
