Brenda Simdorn

June 28, 1956 — February 11, 2026

Wyndmere

Brenda Simdorn, 69, of Wyndmere, North Dakota, passed away on Wednesday, February 11th, 2026, at North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. A service will be held in her honor on Monday, February 16, 2026, at Peace Lutheran Church in Barney, North Dakota, at 11 AM, with a visitation beginning at 9:30 AM. Pastor Brock Schmeling will officiate.

Brenda was born on June 28, 1956, in Breckenridge, Minnesota, to her devoted parents, Gloria and DuWayne Simdorn, and proud big brother, Randy. She spent her childhood in Lidgerwood and Wyndmere, graduating from Wyndmere High School in 1975.

After high school, Brenda made her home in Wahpeton, where she lived most of her adult life. She studied cosmetology at her grandmother's urging, but ultimately spent many years serving others as a nursing assistant at St. Catherine’s Living Center before finishing her career at PrimeWood.

After retiring, Brenda enjoyed coffee with friends, caring for animals, and staying busy with church activities. Her greatest joy, however, came from her nieces, Laura and Leslie. She attended many performances and events while they were growing up. In recent years, she delighted in following the lives of her great-nieces and great-nephews.

Brenda is preceded in death by her grandparents, Gustav and Alma (Witt) Simdorn, and Gilbert and Gladyce (Hanson) Schlotfeldt; her parents, DuWayne and Gloria (Schlotfeldt) Simdorn; her brother Randy; and 4 infant siblings.

She is lovingly remembered by her sister-in-law, Deb (Greg) Hanson; her nieces, Laura (Joe) McComish and Leslie (Darin) Gully; her great-nephews, Ian and Emmett McComish; her great-nieces, Ava and Savannah Gully; and many cousins and friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Peace Lutheran Church, Barney
