Brenda Lee (Wagner) Herring, 78, of Eagleville, formerly of Bangor, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2025, surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Bethlehem, she was the daughter of the late Woodrow and Naomi (Dilcherd) Wagner. A graduate of Pen Argyl High School, she was selected as an exchange student to Germany during her senior year and later earned a degree in Education from Millersville University with a concentration in German.
Brenda began her career as a teacher's aide at Wind Gap School and taught kindergarten at Bangor Nursery and Day Care for 20 years before joining Wegmans, where she served as card shop manager until her retirement in 2014.
She was married to her devoted husband, Donald Herring, for 57 years, and together they raised three daughters in a home filled with music, plants, and love. Brenda will be remembered for her kindness, generosity, and joyful spirit.
She is survived by her husband; daughters, Juli (Christian) Miller, Melissa (Robert) Bower, and Jill Flatley (partner Alex Maiter); grandchildren, Natalie and Brandon Miller and Rachel and Ryan Bower; and her brother, Bryan (Winifred) Wagner.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, November 29, at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bangor.

Sincere condolences on the loss of this fellow German major, MU grad, PAHS grad, and Bangor neighbor. Brenda always had a warm smile and kind word for everyone. She was also wonderful with the kids at the nursery school, and would let our daughter stay for lunch, even though I was done work at 11! She will be missed.
