Brenda Elizabeth Emanuel
Brenda Elizabeth Emanuel, 52, Hibbing, passed away peacefully on Sunday morning November 13, 2011, at home in her sleep and is now one of the finest angels in Heaven.

The first of six children, Brenda was a natural born leader, an accomplished musician, a successful business woman, a devoted daughter, loving sister, incredible mother, amazing grandmother, cherished partner, and a true friend. She always had time for anyone who needed advice or just someone to talk to. She went by many names, “B,” Mom, Grandma, and even “Green shirt,” but no matter how you called her, she would answer. Grace—Peace—Wisdom, these were the words that Brenda lived by. Brenda was a teacher of life. Her inspiring words and kindness towards others was always present.
