Obituary

Brenda Jean Lexes, 69, of Lincoln, passed away on Friday, February 21, 2025, at her home.

No Services are scheduled at this time.

Brenda was born March 8, 1955, and raised in West Texas, the daughter of JL and Lilly Mae Whitlock Brooks. She was a southern belle through and through.

She is survived by her children: Michael David Lexes, Brandie (Mark Cisco) Lexes, Shannon Boykin, Kenneth (Lavender) Lexes. Four grandchildren: Nikalaos Lexes, Joshua Boykin, Michael Boykin and Wesley Boykin. Great grandchildren: Alena Lexes, Hanna, Lyla, Levi, Lukas, Melody Boykin. One sister: Shirley Driver. Love of her life Charlie Ryden.

She was preceded by her parents, one brother: Archie “Bud” Brooks, three sisters: Ruby Brooks, Liddy Morris and Mary Redford.
She was employed at the Vonderlieth Living Center in Mt. Pulaski, but Brenda had a diverse and accomplished career, excelling as a bookkeeper, computer programmer, IT technician, and later as the owner and operator of R&B Pilot Car Service. Her dedication and adaptability allowed her to thrive in multiple fields throughout her life.

Beyond her professional achievements, Brenda was known for her kind heart and giving nature. She had an infectious smile that could brighten any room and a thoughtful spirit that made those around her feel valued and cared for.

Her warmth extended into many hobbies she found joy in crocheting, reading, and listening to books, tending to plants and gardening, making candy, baking, cooking, and listening to music. Each of these passions reflected her creativity and love for bringing comfort to others.

Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. May she be remembered for the kindness she shared and the love she gave so freely.

God Speed Momma

Till we meet again love you a whole bunch
