Brenda Michelle Hetrick (Miyake), 58, of Marbleton, Wyoming passed away on December 14, 2020 due to a long illness. Brenda was born in Rock Springs, Wyoming to Robert and Katherine Hetrick on December 7, 1962. She lived in Mableton her entire life, had a passion for the outdoors and loved everything rodeo related.

Although she suffered for many years with constant pain and never-ending health problems, she never complained and always kept a smile on her face. She was always thinking of others first, just wanting to spread love to everyone who knew her. Brenda was loved by many in the community and was a friend to all.

Brenda's love for animals was what got her through many trials. Her wish was that donations be made to Paws and Claws and Happy Endings Animal Rescue Shelter.

She leaves behind her mother Kathy Hetrick, brothers Brandon (Cheri) Hetrick, Brett (Debi) Hetrick, Heath Hetrick; children Rich (Tracy) Miyake, Kenji Miyake, second son Josh (Jessica) Rogers, Tayera (Darrell) Williams, Megan (Eric) Strand; grandchildren Daryl Ann Williams, Zaid and Liam Strand, as well as many others.

The family wishes to thank everyone who came into her life, became her friend, and stood by her side during the good and bad times. She will be greatly missed.

A celebration of life will be held on January 2, 2020 at 2:00 PM via live stream on Facebook at Summit Church's Facebook page.
