Brenda Josephine Lewis King, 71, passed away Thursday, April 11, 2019 at Mission Hospital.
Brenda was born in Washington, Missouri to the late Gilbert and Josephine Bueker Lewis. She was preceded in death by a sister, Patricia Peirick, a half-sister, Gloria Reed, and a half-brother, Kenneth Lewis.
She specifically wanted to be remembered for “loved my husband and loved my son, was kind and forgiving and loved animals especially her dogs.” I wish for family and friends to know that I do not fear death itself. I think it is not the end, but a new beginning for me.
Brenda graduated from Washington High School and continued on to receive a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Business Education from the University of Central Missouri.
Brenda was married to Douglas King on August 21, 1971; they were married 47 years. She was also a longtime member of First Presbyterian Church in Bellevue, Washington.
She is survived by her Husband, Douglas Reed King; one son Matthew Ryan King and his wife, Kristine of Sammamish, Washington; a granddaughter Katheryn King; five siblings, Bonnie Schulte, Gwendolyn Sieve and her husband, William, Leland Lewis and his wife Marilyn, Gary Lewis and his wife, Teal, and Deborah Olson and her husband Ron. She also leaves behind a lot of caring relatives and friends whom she loved dearly.

Bless you Brenda peace be with you.
Brenda was the light in the room, the laughter that you longed to hear. She will be missed dearly. God bless you Doug. God has an amazing angel with him now.
Brenda it was an honor to have you as a friend…and how I will miss your wonderful sense of humor! We always laughed so much, along with a Starbucks.
Although our friendship was brief, you—your spirit—will remain forever in my heart. I enjoyed your insights when discussing books; you were very perceptive and positive. Most of all, I enjoyed your humor and kind nature.
Condolences to Doug, your son, and family.

Brenda was a lovely person. I knew her in college – we roomed together our senior year. She was my maid of honor as my wedding in 1970. She will be missed. God be with her family.
