Mount Pleasant – Brenda Marie (nee: Siegel) Guillien, age 49, passed away at Froedtert South –Kenosha Campus on Thursday, July 30, 2020 in the company of her loving husband.

Brenda was born in Peoria, IL on September 30, 1970. A graduate of Waukesha County Technical College, she went on to serve our community with the Racine Police Department from 1993, as a patrol officer, evidence technician, Officer Friendly, DARE program officer, and investigator until 2007, when she sadly had to retire due to her failing health.

On June 22, 1996, Brenda was united in marriage with the love of her life, Daniel John Guillien. To this loving union, their two gifts of children, Kylea and Kyle, were born. They were Brenda’s everything. Brenda is survived to cherish her memory: devoted husband, Dan; beautiful children, Kylea & Kyle; dear sister, Michele Alvey; other relatives and many friends – too numerous to mention all by name. She was greeted in Heaven by her parents, Bonnie (nee: Frame) Wing, Glenn Siegel and Loyce (nee: Ingram) Siegel.

Testimonials

October 9, 2020

I would like to thank Mike Langendorf, Bill Althaus and the rest of the staff for the wonderful celebration of the life for my father Raymond L. Szymanski who was a WWII veteran. I especially appreciate how much you really listen and the questions you asked regarding who my father was and what he was all about. Those details showed up in every part of the service from the flowers, the music, the thank you’s, pictures, obituary, outdoor military honors, etc. etc. My father would have been so grateful for the way you honored his life. I also received phone calls from family and friends indicating how beautiful the service was in every way. You and your staff definitely go above and beyond. You treat everyone like family and your compassion is so genuine. There should be more people in the world just like all of you. No words can express our gratitude for all you have done for myself, my father and our family. Thank you so very much and may the Lord bless you and yours! Sincerely Terri Carls and the Szymanski Family

Theresa Lynn Carls
