Brenda's obituary

On September 22, 2022, Brenda Belisle Weiss (née, Brenda Joyce Belisle) gained her wings and went to walk with the angels after a brief and devastating battle with liver cancer; she was 62. Brenda passed peacefully in northern Michigan surrounded in love by her siblings and her three children.

Brenda was born on April 12, 1960 in Pontiac, Michigan, the daughter of the late Joseph and Darlene Belisle. She attended Michigan State University where she studied Pre-Veterinary Medicine and Forestry. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister, friend, caregiver, and horse nanny who relished in taking care of others. Brenda raised three wonderful children; Erica Weiss (Patrick Meagher), Anthony Weiss (Lydia Storms), and Dominic Weiss (Victoria Hunt). Her children were her pride and joy and nothing made Brenda happier than spending time with them.

Brenda’s legacy was her compassion for caregiving. She was the primary caregiver for her own mother who had Alzheimer’s and also spent her life caring for children, and serving as a wonderful live-in caregiver for the elderly.

Brenda enjoyed caring for people and animals alike and had a passion for horses. One of her favorite places to be was at the barn or enjoying a trail ride on a crisp fall day. She had a beautiful herd of 11 horses, including a stallion and a mustang.

In addition to her children, Brenda is survived by her siblings, Michele Weverstad (Alan), Leonna Belisle Berry, Gloria Krass (Paul), Joseph Belisle, Larry Belisle, Andrea Belisle (Terry Kelly), and Bruce Belisle (Kris), along with many nieces and nephews and their families.

Erica, Anthony, and Dominic would like to express their deepest gratitude to Michele and Alan Weverstad, Wanda and Dave Wozniak, Melanie Schupbach, the doctors and nurses at Ascension St. Mary’s Hospital, and Brenda’s many friends, and extended family members who demonstrated love and support for Brenda and her children. The family wishes to further thank the countless souls who offered support through prayer and their contributions to Brenda’s GoFundMe page.

Brenda was a beautiful soul who lived life to the fullest, and loved with her whole heart. She was kind, selfless, and considered everyone her family. She had a knack for making friends and never met a stranger she did not like. Brenda was adventurous, loved to laugh, and gave the best hugs. She had a fun, sassy side, and her sense of humor was present to the end. Brenda’s faith was boundless and her loving spirit will never be forgotten. A memorial to celebrate her beautiful life will be announced at a later date.
