Sue Brenner died Nov. 12, 2012, at the age of 75 due to complications from Parkinson's Disease and Dementia.

Sue was born to parents Ralph Best and Rose Daniels in Redlands, Calif., and she spent her childhood on an orange ranch with Rose and her older brother Bob. After graduating from Redlands University, Sue moved to Palo Alto where she met her husband-to-be Bob Brenner.

She taught at Cubberley High School before her marriage and then taught and coached at Los Altos High School from 1964 to 1980. After returning from Greenwich, Conn., in 1982, Sue taught tennis and did volunteer work in the Stanford University Athletic Department. Sue loved to travel, and her sense of adventure and joy permeated her life and those she touched.

A celebration of Sue's life will be held at the Los Altos United Methodist Church on Feb. 23, 2013, at 2 p.m. with a reception immediately following. If you feel so inclined, memorial donations can be made to the Parkinson's Institute of Sunnyvale (thepi.org), the Alzheimer's Association of Mountain View (alz.org) or the SunnyView Foundation of Cupertino (sunny-view.org).
