Brenda Wilson Obituary

Brenda R. Wilson, 78, of Edgewater, MD passed away on November 28, 2020 at the Mandrin Inpatient Center in Harwood, MD. Brenda was born on September 29, 1942 in Cheverly, MD to the late Besty Ross Rich and Howard Rovelstad. She was raised in Hyattsville, MD and was a graduate of High Point High School where she was a cheerleader. Brenda had a variety of jobs, but the one she loved the most was as an addiction counselor in Annapolis at Open Door for 16 years. Brenda was an avid gardener, loved her community (and they loved her) and did many hours of volunteer work for the church. Brenda lived a full life, those who met her loved her and she loved them. In addition to her parents Brenda was predeceased by her granddaughter, Sarah Michele Pyles. She is survived by her husband, Mike Storosh; daughter, Laura Dreany-Pyles (Mark), her faithful dog, Maggie; stepchildren, Michael and Valerie and grandchildren, Jeffrey Adams, Daniel Pyles, Matthew, Tori and Nicolas Storosh. Friends and family are invited to celebrate Brenda's life on Saturday, December 5, 2020 from 3 to 5 pm at the Kalas Funeral Home and Crematory, 2973 Solomons Island Rd., Edgewater, MD.

I knew Brenda very well during our teen years. She was a tiny little thing, with wit and wisdom that belied her age. She was a big part of my High Point "gang" and although we lost touch she will continue to be missed whenever I reflect on that golden time in my life.
