IN MEMORIAM: It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Brenda Irene Stiefel, 58, born in Genoa, OH and recently of Santa Barbara, California. Brenda passed away peacefully in her home in Northwood, Ohio in the early hours of October 21, 2015, due to complications from endometrial cancer. She was surrounded by her family and loved ones throughout her final weeks. Brenda joined UCSB in 1998 where she began her time at Ortega Dining. She worked at Ortega for over six years as a relief cook and later transitioned to their bakery department. She transferred to DLG and worked at the bakery there until 2005, and then she transferred to Portola as a lobby checker. She missed working in the kitchen but quickly found a new passion as she got to know the students and became their friend and surrogate mother. Surviving are her daughter, Laura Amber Stiefel; son, Matthew Morgan Stiefel; siblings, Cynthia, Barbara, David, Linda and Douglas; dear friends, Masaru Nagano and Sandra Lumbreezer; as well as beloved aunt, Valerie Bertok. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kermit and Irene Freimark. May her light shine in the hearts of her loved ones forever.
