Brenda Lynn Mansell
Brenda Lynn Mansell, at the young age of 57, passed
peacefully in her home in Boise, ID, after a 10 year battle with breast
cancer.
She was born December 7, 1956, the
third daughter of Steve and Gayle Eytchison.
Born and raised in the Boise area with her 4 other siblings.
Attended
school at Sacred Heart, South Jr. High, and Borah High School; were she met the
love of her life, Randall “Randy” Mansell.
They were married shortly after on June 26, 1976.
As young newlyweds she attended College of Southern
Idaho before returning to Boise to attend Boise State.
She was a devoted, amazing mother raising two
children while balancing a career working in the medical field, spending over 35
years working at SARMC, SANC, and DaVita.
She was known for her
bright smiles and witty personality.
Her
warm heart and laughter made it easy to befriend her.
She was blessed with the love and support of
many close friends and family that helped her throughout her battle, she loved
and appreciated each and every one.
She held
dearly the travels to places like Ireland and England, the warm beaches in
Hawaii, and other adventures she shared with her friends.
Her true passion in life was her family.
There was never anything more important to
Brenda and she made sure everyone knew.
There
was never a time she wasn’t there to love and support them.
Her enjoyment and hobbies turned from things
like reading into attending soccer and football games; transporting to and from
baseball and cheerleading practice; attending her husband’s softball games and
having nights out with good friends, or family events.
And there was nothing she loved more than her
grandchildren.
No matter who she was
with or where, she always provided the smile and laughter.
Brenda is preceded in death by her father, Steve Eytchison,
and niece Baby Jessica.
She is survived
