1969-2015
Brenda was born on November 2, 1969 to Norman Turley and Marion Smith. She passed from this earth on September 30, 2015. Her beloved dog, Max, who was Brenda\s constant companion in life, passed shortly after that and they are now constant companions together in eternity.
Brenda grew up and became a beautiful woman in the Salt Lake Valley and was a member of the LDS Church. She loved her nieces and nephews and was loved by them. Brenda especially loved, and was especially loved in return by, Nakeesa and Keyvan Keyvani. Brenda and Nakeesa had a very special love for and friendship with each other. Nakeesa and Keyvan are heartbroken.
The love of Brenda\s life was her son, Bijan. In fact, she loved her son more than life itself. Bijan, your mother is very proud of you and thought about and missed you every day of her life.
Brenda\s journey in life was not easy, but it was worthwhile. Any person who has lived, loved and been loved in return like Brenda was, is fortunate indeed. We hope and trust that Brenda is now experiencing the peace, rest, happiness and serenity that so frequently evaded her in life. Brenda, your family, your friends and your son love and will miss you very much.
Brenda is survived by Mother, Marion Smith; Father, Norman Turley; Sisters: Bonnie Tolbert, Becky Rasmussen (Neil Rasmussen), Natalie Turley; Son: Bijan Sherkat; Nieces and Nephews: Giana Rasmussen, Alia Rasmussen, Isaac Rasmussen, John Rasmussen, Michael Rasmussen (deceased), Juliette Rasmussen, James Rasmussen, Journee Tolbert
A Memorial Service, following Brenda\s cremation, will be held on Tuesday December 29, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Larkin Sunset Lawn, located at 2350 East 1300 South Salt Lake City, Utah.
Rest in peace, our dear daughter, mother, sister, aunt and friend.
