Brenda Rink (Dela Cuesta) passed away peacefully on Saturday August 23, 2025 at the age of 71.

She lost her tough battle to a rare, aggressive type of T-cell lymphoma five years after beating breast cancer. She was a fighter until the end.

Survived by Jim, her husband of 33 years, mother Concordia, sisters Judy (Tom), Tonette (Tony), brother Tito plus many other relatives and friends.

Brenda was a beautiful and kind person who loved her family, animals (especially dogs), and flowers. She was an outstanding gardener.

She was a proud Filipina and returned to the Philippines annually where she had many relatives and friends. To the people in the Philippines she was a "Rock Star."

Brenda was a talented, hard working hair stylist. You not only received a great cut or color but you also got to spend time with Brenda, who would make you feel like you were the most important person in the world. She had a sweet smile, infectious laugh, and a spunky personality. Beautiful inside and out, she always made your day better.

Thank you Brenda for everything.

A Catholic Mass will take place at St Mary's Catholic Faith Community in Hales Corners, WI., 9520 W. Forest Home Ave. The service will be at 11 AM. with visitation starting at 9.AM
