Victoria Ruth Brendlinger

Victoria Ruth Brendlinger was born September 28, 1962, in Albany, New York. Victoria moved to Florida where she had her first son Joseph Bruce. She moved to Port Saint Lucie, FL in the late 90’s where she married Richard Brendlinger. They bought a house and had their son Austin Brendlinger. Victoria was nothing short of sweet, compassionate, and full of energy. She had the most contagious smile, an amazing laugh, and made memories wherever she went. She was the best at what she did. She was an outstanding wife and mother to both of her kids. She put the interest of others before herself and always took care of her family.

She was an amazing friend. She was loved by all that she met and left a lasting impression that will never be forgotten till the end of time. Victoria was dedicated and showed passion for everything she did. She was knowledgeable, clever, and always found an answer to solve a problem. Even in her worst time Victoria was the shining light in a dark room. She was someone to surround yourself by and then watch your life bloom and prosper.

She is survived by her husband, Richard Brendlinger, her first born, Joseph Bruce, and her youngest son, Austin Brendlinger. I never thought I would be writing something like this for you mom, but at least not yet. These past couple months you have done nothing but put up a tremendous fight. You never knew when it was time to give up even when you were surrounded by friends and family on your last day on this earth. We encouraged you to go to your resting place because you have rightfully earned it. However, I will never forget the fight you put up mom. You shocked every person in that room.

My two favorite memories I will cherish for the rest of my existence will be you watching me walk across the stage and getting my dream job. Those six months prior to graduation I was constantly worried, worried that I would lose you and you would not get the chance to see me walk across the stage. When that day came, not only was I emotional, but I was overcome with joy. Seeing the tears of joy you were shedding and having you pin me will be engraved into my mind and soul until the day I die. My second favorite memory with you mom was during travel ball when I broke my wrist mid game. I wanted to pass out on the field, but it was like you reached out to me. You gave me the courage to step back into the batter’s box, grab my bat with my broken wrist, and take another swing. After I drove in the winning run, I looked at you. I saw nothing but happiness. I could sense how proud you were of me for the resilience I showed that night. That is my promise to you. To always be resilient. Unfortunately, I don’t have you to lean on anymore and I know life will get tough in the future. But no matter how many times it knocks me down I am going to be resilient, stand back up, and solve the problem. Just like you have done it.

Mom/Victoria passed away on March 20, 2025. You will be dearly missed. By your family and friends. Mom, I hope your journey doesn’t stop here. I hope you accomplish anything you want. I ask you watch over our family and friends.

With a heavy heart, love your sons Austin & Joe, and Richard, your husband.
