A treasure is lost
After 16 years as the face of the Ottumwa Area Chamber of Commerce and Partners in Progress , Brenda Sieren succumbed to her year-long battle with cancer March 25 . “ We ’ ve lost a treasure ; there is no replacing someone as gifted as Brenda . We know everyone is grieving with us ” says Shea Greiner , GO- PIP vice president of engagement .
We ’ ll miss her as a friend — she never met a stranger and made everyone around her happier in some way . Her collection of various office keys was astonishing , her cheesy potatoes were the best at potlucks in the office , and her love and pride of family was heartfelt .
We ’ ll miss her as a colleague — Brenda had a command of the institutional history of this organization . She could tell you who , what , when , where and why about any subject , which earned her the moniker “ our encyclopedia .” There ’ s not a detail she didn ’ t know the answer to , no event she couldn ’ t manage .
Her first day , April 1 , 2005 , was no joke . In fact , she often laughed that it was her lucky day . Lucky for us as well . Her friendliness and enthusiasm were infectious , and she made every member feel special .
Brenda , you have created a hole in our hearts that will never mend . May God ’ s blessings be upon you .
