Debra J. Brendemuehl

MADISON-Debra J. Brendemuehl, age 63, born in Lancaster on June 19, 1949, passed away peacefully, surrounded by close family and friends on Sunday, June 16, 2013, after a long battle of various health issues. She was employed by Dean Clinic for 35 years. Because of her unstoppable sense of humor, Deb developed unbreakable bonds with many people. She made us laugh and cry, but mostly laugh with her out of nowhere comments, gestures and expressions. Deb is survived by her sister, JoEllen McDowell of Madison; brother, Michael Brendemuehl of Arizona; several nieces and nephews; great nieces and nephews; and many incredible lifelong friends who have stuck by her side through thick and thin. She was preceded in death by her parents, LaVerne and Helen Brendemuehl of Lancaster. On behalf of Deb we would like to thank all the kindhearted people at the Dean Clinic facilities, St. Mary's Hospital, and Agrace Hospice. Those closest to Deb will never forget how she made us smile. A Celebration in honor of Deb's Life will be held at a later date. Memorials may be made to Agrace HospiceCare or Dane County Humane Society. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.
