Brenda was born in Salem, Oregon on July 10th, 1967 to William Asher and Louise Margaret Mansfield; the last of six children. At five she moved to Caldwell, Idaho, where her mother passed a year later. Her father moved the family to Twin Falls, Idaho, where she had a happy and fun childhood. At 14, Brenda moved to Scio, Oregon to live with her sister Barbara. She loved living in Scio. She eventually moved to the Mill City and Gates area; joined the Eagles and was so happy to help the community. She worked at Marion Estates for years and loved it there. At Marion Home, she met her wonderful husband, Brian Watts, whose Dad she loved and took care of.
Brenda moved to Aumsville with Brian, in 1995. She was so happy there. Brenda and Brian had 2 amazing children: Dean and Madison Watts. She couldn’t have found a better place to raise her family. Brenda truly embraced both communities, Aumsville and Stayton, and everyone there. She said “You are fantastic people and I love you all so much.”
Brenda loved painting and collecting crystals and rocks. Raising her little skunks and labradors; rescuing little animals and being part of the community. She especially loved door dashing; seeing you all. Thank you all for helping Brenda to have such a lovely life. At Brenda’s request, we will not have a service at this time; the family and friends will host a Wake for all community members to come celebrate the life she loved living and share uplifting stories of her. When the time comes, Brenda and her loving husband Brian will be placed at Lone Oaks Cemetery.
