Brenda Marie (Buening) Channing went to her eternal home on Tuesday, September 15th

Brenda Marie (Buening) Channing went to her eternal home on Tuesday, September 15th.  Born March 3, 1949 in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin to Lawrence (Larry) and Louise (Scherer) Buening.  She graduated from Whitewater High School in 1967,  went to beauty school and worked as a beautician at Puddie’s Beauty Salon for many years. Special thank you to Carrie McDermott, who was Brenda’s loving caregiver for the last several years. Brenda loved her children fiercely and they appropriately called her Momma Bear.  Brenda is survived by her 3 children, Melissa (Channing) Steffen, Muskego, WI; Andrew Channing, Whitewater, WI; Jill (Channing) Jensen, Janesville, WI;  1 sister, Lisa Sheldon (Joel); 3 grandchildren, Macy, Jameson and Benjamin Jensen; 2 nieces and 1 nephew.

She is preceded in death by her parents and both brothers, Patrick and Brian Buening.  

Friends welcome to attend a graveside service at 11 a.m. on Monday, September 21st.

She is free and at peace with no more struggles and no more tears.  She will always be in our hearts and we know her path is clear.  So thankful for the precious good times.  Her love could not be denied.

Nitardy Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.

Online condolences can be made at www.nitardyfuneralhome.com
