She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.  Survivors include her husband, William; children, Angela Sullivan, William Brehmer, Jr., Daniel Brehmer and Erin Brehmer; seven grandchildren; and brothers, Andy and Bill Pennock.  Preceding her in death are her parents, sister, Donna Pennock and son, David Brehmer.
