Brenda Joyce Kranz
September 23, 1947 - January 10, 2017

Brenda Joyce Kranz went to here lord Jesus on January 10, 2017 at 9:50am at Valley Medical after a long struggle with MS. Brenda was born in Houston, Texas on September 23, 1947 to Nita Gifford and Bob Gifford. Brenda spent most of her adult life living in Tri Cities Washington. She was married to her high school sweet heart who she had three children with. Brenda was a stay at home mother and wife for many years. She divorced and went on to work as a pipe fitter where she met her second husband who she was married to for over 25 years. She was given several grandchildren in the years to come and she loved to spend time and spoil them. She found much joy in her grandchildren and gardening. Everyone she came into contact with loved her and she was a joy to be around with her witty sense of humor! As the years passed her MS had taken her speech and mobility. It had been a long struggle for her, but she always kept a smile on her face. Brenda is survived by her brother, Barry Gifford, Daughter, Debbie Priest, Sons, Tom and Troy Mallonee as well as her grandchildren, Casey Mallonee, Kyle Priest, Spencer Mallonee, Sydney Mallonee, Sean Mallonee and Lyndsay Mallonee. Brenda is now free of her pain and she can now dance in heaven with her parents and brother Jerry as well as her great granddaughter Haylee Mallonee. We will miss her ray of sunshine and love. Rest in Peace beautiful soul
