Brenda was born September 12, 1952, in Hazen, ND, to Walter and Viola (Knell) Scheid.  She was baptized into Christ on October 16, 1952, and confirmed at Peace Lutheran Church in Hazen.  She attended country school at Krem and later graduated from Hazen High School in 1970.  Brenda grew up north of Hazen and thoroughly enjoyed life on the family farm.

Brenda married Dale Weigum on October 16, 1970, at Peace Lutheran Church in Hazen.  They made their home north of Zap, raising registered Brown Swiss cattle and managing a cow-calf pair operation.  They raised two children, Shanan and Tiffany.  Brenda was very active with her children and community.  She worked many years for Progressive Maintenance.  Brenda also enjoyed working at Cenex, Kimi’s, and Promiseland Design.  Brenda was a member of Concordia Lutheran Church.  Brenda loved 4-H and was a leader for over 25 years.  She also hosted two foreign exchange students.  You could always find Brenda at the barns during the Mercer County Fair.

Brenda lived a life filled with love, laughter, and a deep appreciation for the simpler things in life.  Her hands rarely idle as she poured her heart into many passions, which included crafting, sewing, puzzles, and gardening.  Brenda’s kitchen was always filled with delicious German foods.

Brenda cherished every moment with her grandsons, whether watching their sporting events, showing livestock, or building Legos.  She was so excited to welcome a new great granddaughter, Micah, this past year. 

Brenda’s life was a testament to love, generosity, and a joy of simple pleasures.  Granny will be deeply missed.
