Brenda Reichow-Curley Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 12, 2025.
Brenda Reichow-Curley, 63, passed away in her home on Wednesday, July 30th, 2025, leaving behind all of her earthly pains. She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Marietta VandenBosch, and her older brother Charles Postma. Surviving are her children, Tammy Vandenbosch (William Walker) Teresa and Harmon Taylor, Travis Benham, William Curley III, and Tiffany Curley. Grand children, Trevor, Ania Mae, Austin, Lettie Kay, Harmon Jr, Kaiden, Elliana, Jayden, Sofia, Gabriella, and Charlie.

There are likely siblings, nieces, and nephews- however, none of them have ever cared to include themselves, so the favor has been returned.

Brenda was a lifelong resident of Grand Rapids, MI, where she worked for the transportation department in several local Public-School districts. As the baby of her family, Brenda lived her entire life doing exactly what she wanted to do, when she wanted to do it. For many years you could find Brenda at the local Bingo Hall multiple nights a week. She cherished her animals far more than most but when it came to her grandchildren- there was nothing she loved more! There is no doubt she will remain with us, if for nothing else then to remind us of her petty antics and to watch over her grandchildren- especially her princess, Ania Mae.

Cremation has already taken place. A private memorial event will take place at a later date for her immediate family.

Until next time Momma, we've got it from here.
