Brenda Beattie
February 14, 1943 — December 15, 2011
Casper, Wyoming – Brenda Joyce Beattie of Dubois, Wyoming and Westlake Village, California passed away peacefully at her home near Dubois on Thursday, Dec. 15.
She was born in Casper on February 14, 1943, the daughter of Herman and Jeanette Forsberg. Brenda graduated from Natrona County High School in 1961. During high school Brenda was active in Girls League Council, cheerleading, baton, and theater. Brenda married her high school sweetheart John Robert (Bob) Beattie in 1963. Together, Brenda and Bob resided in Casper before moving on to Laramie, WY, Arlington, TX, Fort Collins, CO and, ultimately, Westlake Village, CA. Upon retirement, Brenda and Bob shared time together between their home in Westlake Village and their cabin near Dubois.
Early in her career Brenda worked for the Marathon Oil Company in Casper, the University of Wyoming, and Colorado State University. After moving to Southern California Brenda initially worked for The California Institute of Technology before becoming a Business Control Specialist for Hughes Missile Systems Group. Brenda retired from Boeing Satellite Systems in 2002.
Brenda was an avid reader whom could always be found with a new book in her hands. She continued to advance her education by taking numerous courses through area colleges and universities. Brenda loved the beautiful gardens and warmth of Southern California but, never forgot her roots in the Rocky Mountain West. She loved to backpack, ski, and fish. Brenda loved music and dining, especially sushi at Akio's in Westlake Village. Brenda was widely traveled and considered herself fortunate to have visited many exotic parts of the world. Following their retirement Brenda and Bob returned to Wyoming and enjoyed all that the spectacular Wind River Range has to offer. Despite her many accomplishments Brenda was most proud of her three sons.
She is survived by her husband Bob, sons John and wife Kimberly, James, and Patrick, sister Harriet, brothers Doug and Rockney, grandchildren William, Sarah, Michael, and Andrew, and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Brenda was preceded in death by her parents Jeanette and Herman Forsberg and stepmother Marie Forsberg.
Visitation will be held Tuesday, Dec. 27 at Newcomer Funeral Home in Casper, WY from 12 to 6PM with a rosary to follow at 6PM. Funeral services will be held Wednesday, Dec. 28 at 1030AM at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Casper, WY.
