Brenda L. Sikkenga-Schneider's Obituary
Brenda L. Sikkenga-Schneider, age 55, passed away unexpectedly Monday, October 19, 2020 at home. She was born to Dennis Schneider and Donna Twining in Muskegon, MI on February 15, 1965 and has lived in this area most of her life. Brenda truly loved the outdoors and all the beauty that nature had to offer. She was an avid fisher and loved being on the water. She was also an avid coffee drinker; started her day with a cup and ended her day with about five cups! She was also blessed with a green thumb; she had the ability to restore any garden no matter the condition it was in. She had a big-heart, and this was not only for the people in her life, but also for animals, which she loved. Brenda was the type of woman that was always on the go, she would take her bike and ride all around town. She will always be remembered for being a social butterfly and having the gift of gab. Her vivacious and bubbly personality will truly be missed by many. She is survived by her 3 children, Shawn Schneider, Felicia (Michael Brown) Schneider and Andrew Nugent; mother, Donna Coley; father, Dennis Schneider; sister, Rhonda Frank; brother, Troy Schneider; grandchild, Mont Brown; and boyfriend, Eric Gustafson. She is preceded in death by her son, Matthew Nugent. A Celebration of Brenda's Life will be held 3:00 PM Monday, October 26, 2020 at The Sytsema Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 737 E.
