Brenda L. Williams

December 14, 1956 — May 29, 2025

Brenda L. Williams, age 68, of Garnett, Kansas, passed away May 29, 2025, at Olathe Medical Center, Olathe, Kansas.

Brenda was born on December 14, 1956, to George Martz and bonus mom Emma (Sharp) Martz in Kansas City, Kansas. She graduated from Shawnee Mission West with the Class of 1975.

Shortly after graduation, Brenda married Steven Guernsey, and together they were blessed with three children. Later in life, she found her soulmate in Dean Caballero, with whom she shared countless cherished memories and deep companionship.

Brenda had a lifelong passion for cooking and pursued it as a career, earning a degree in dietary services. She was especially gifted in baking, decorating cakes and creating tasteful masterpieces-especially for her grandkids. Her cinnamon rolls and biscuits and gravy became legendary among those lucky enough to enjoy them. She touched many lives through her food, her warmth, and her love.

Outside of the kitchen, Brenda found joy in life's simple pleasures-watching birds at the feeder, listening to her wind chimes, doting on animals, and shopping for treasures. She adored decorating for the holidays and making her home a warm, welcoming place. Above all, Brenda was devoted to her family. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she poured her heart into every moment spent with them.

She was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Penny Biggerstaff and Linda Tennyson; and the love of her life Dean Caballero.

Brenda is survived by her children, Tina Carllson of Chanute, Kansas, Tim and wife Rhonda Guernsey of Garnett, Kansas, Traci and husband Will of Garnett, Kansas; grandchildren, Brian Abell, Tregon Guernsey (Robert), Trista Brown (Cameron), Hunter Hill, Holli Hill, Sean Williams, Trinten Guernsey, Dakoda Hall, Hope Hill; great- grandchildren, Brailynne, Ellie, Abel, Imberlee, Cash, May.
