Brenda Farley

In loving memory of Brenda Farley (1943-2025) 

With heavy hearts, the family of Brenda Farley announces her passing at the age of 82, following a tragic automobile accident on June 28, 2025.

Born on March 5, 1943, in Springfield, Ohio, Brenda was the beloved daughter of George and Florence Weidner.  A proud graduate of South High School Springfield, class of 1960.  

In 1978, Brenda married the love of her life, Billie Farley.  Together, they built a home filled with love, laughter, and countless cherished memories.  

Brenda was a devoted and loving mother to Todd (Suzi) Koons, Rob Koons, Bethany (Kent) Nieman, and Regina (Kris) Wyatt. She was a proud sister to Doug (Fran) Weidner, a beloved grandmother to TJ Koons, Chris Koons, Derek (Layla) Koons, McKenzie (Alex) Vancil, and Breann (Keten Cox) Koons, Dorian (Nicole) Valencia Jr., Lorenzo Valencia, and Dominic Valencia and a great-grandmother to many. 

Her life was one of service and compassion.  Brenda dedicated many years to caregiving at the Masonic Home in Springfield, later continuing her mission through private home healthcare.  Her kindness and empathy touched countless lives.  

Brenda found joy in the simple pleasures-birdwatching from her window, reading her favorite books, and spending time on her back porch with her loyal rescue dog, Lolly.  She especially loved playing computer card games, always with Lolly by her side. 

A gifted cook and gracious host, Brenda had a special talent for bringing people together. Her Thanksgiving meal was legendary.  Her home was a place of warmth, welcome, and unwavering love.  She never met a stranger and treated everyone who entered her home as family. 

Brenda's generous spirit, kind heart, and infectious warmth will be missed by all who knew her.  Her legacy of love and care will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.  

She was preceded in death by her husband, brothers, Bob and Don Weidner, sister, Nancy DuPurtuis, dear in-laws, and many treasured other relatives and friends.  

Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 3, 2025 at Walter & Lewis Funeral Home from 11:00 a.m. until the time of the funeral beginning at 1:00 p.m. with Adam Bartlett officiating.  Brenda will be laid to rest following the funeral at Maple Grove Cemetery.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Elizabeth Lauchard and Carl Herron for all the years of love and support that you devoted to mom. You were a blessing to Brenda and her family.
