Simply CremationBrenda M. Lyons
Mrs. Brenda Mina Lyons, 66 of Wittmann, Arizona passed away on October 27, 2022, in Wittmann, Arizona. She was born June 18, 1956, to Harry Bell and Wilma Sisco in Ware, Massachusetts.
She married David Lyons on March 15, 1980, in Owensboro, Kentucky. They had one daughter, Shelly who was Brenda’s baby. When Shelly was young, she often let her get away with much more than Dave would have liked.
Brenda was a dedicated businesswoman, owning her salons and working for herself through the years. She owned and operated Eco Chic Hair Boutique for the past 7 years in Surprise, Arizona. All of Brenda’s clients were so special to her. She listened and genuinely cared for them.
Brenda hated to cook, but always had a few special dishes she was famous for. She loved to have her homemade vanilla ice cream topped with peanut butter fudge. She often scoffed at the idea of flowers, saying they were a waste of money; but necklaces, on the other hand, she always had one on. Her spunky nature was ever so present and wasn’t a surprise to anyone if you heard her comment “are you f@%*ing kidding me!”
In her free time, she loved to dance; you could find her and Dave at the local Brookside Sports Bar & Grille every Thursday night, dancing and having a great time. Western fashion, décor, and music were some of her favorite things. She often could be found listening to her two favorite bands: Western Fusion, and Western Bred. She loved horses- particularly palominos, and her favorite color was orange.
Dave and Brenda bought an RV and had big plans to travel after retirement. Quickly enough though, Brenda realized that she disliked traveling in her RV, but enjoyed traveling abroad. Their most recent trip was to Stockholm, Sweden, as she pursued her new passion with ZinZino.
Brenda will be remembered fondly as a beautiful, caring, loving, hardworking, and all-around exceptional wife, mother, grandmother, friend, and woman. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Brenda is survived by her husband of 42 years, Dave Lyons; daughter Shelly Marano; sister Cindy Wood; brother, Bill Brunelle and her 3 grandchildren: Savanna, Saleen, and Bella.
She was preceded in death by her mother, father, brother, and Son-In-Law.
Dave & Shelly, my deepest condolences for your loss of such a special lady. Wishing both of you and the rest of Brenda’s family & friends both peace and comfort during this time.
Brenda and I were best of friends through high school. We always tried keeping in touch through the years. We had such great times in her mom’s old Ford pickup that wouldn’t start half the time! She will be missed greatly.
I will miss Brenda deeply. My heart breaks for your loss. I pray for your family’s comfort and peace.
Pam And I were deeply saddened by the passing of our friend Brenda. The times we traveled to Arizona and stayed with Dave and Brenda were some of the best times we ever had. Our hearts go out to Dave, Shelly, and the girls. She is dancing with the angels now , and no doubt right in the front line.
Brenda, you’re definitely missed by all. Your smile and personality was infectious. Hugs to your family. Belle, I love you so much!
My deepest condolences. I still can’t believe that my beautiful friend is gone. Way too soon. Sending prayers to her family. She will be dearly missed.

My deepest condonensces. Brenda will truly be missed. Prayers for peace and comfort for her family
She was a awesome friend, she will be missed by everyone, my heart and prayers got out to her family.
I was a client of Brenda’s and appreciated her talent with hair. She was also a great source of information about dancing which helped us since we were snowbirds and liked to dance. Most of all, she was a friend and always greeted us warmly when we saw she and Dave out dancing. She will be so missed by those who knew her. Arizona just won’t seem the same.
Sending prayers & Hugs🙏🙏 You are truly missed beyond belief and will be in our Hearts Forever❤️
Bill and Cindy I’m so deeply sorry for your loss my prayers are with you
Thank you all so much .. those kind, thoughtful words mean so much to us ❤️
Dave and Girls,
Brenda will be deeply missed at the shop. Such a wonderful and beautiful woman! Every morning she would say to me did you take your Zinzino and then say I only nag you about it cuz I care and I love. I hear those words every darn morning. I pray for your family that your pain will ease with time.
