Brenda Sherba passed away peacefully at the age of 79 at Bethlen Home on April 8, 2026. She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Rebecca Jo Sherba. She is survived by her devoted husband of 61 years, John Sherba; and her two daughters, Donna (Dave) Buco and JoAnn (Dave) Cavanaugh.
She was a proud grandmother to Rebecca (John) Kishlock, Nichole Johnson (Rick Harmon), William (Fah) Cavanaugh, Matthew Cavanaugh, and Elizabeth Cavanaugh; and a loving great-grandmother to Ethan and Lukas Kishlock; Nathan Rodkey; Jace and David Johnson; and Johanna Cavanaugh.
Brenda is also survived by her brothers, Jack (Darlene) Ellison and Bob (Wanita) Ellison; half-sisters, Judie Parks, Bonnie Berkey (Jim), and Mildred (Willie) Warren; her sister-in-law, Penny Kwisnek, and the late Jim Kwisnek; as well as many loving nieces and nephews.
Brenda loved to cook, something she carried throughout her life and shared with those around her (she spent many years working at Dean’s Diner). She enjoyed time with her family, friends, and neighbors, had a true green thumb and a special love for her flowers, and of course, never passed up a good game of bingo.
The family will receive friends at the Ferguson Funeral Home & Monument Company, 25 W. Market St. Blairsville, PA 15717 on Sunday, April 12, 2026 from 1-3 PM, with a funeral service held at 3 PM. Rev. John L. Buchmann will officiate. Interment will be held in the Blairsville Cemetery, Blairsville, PA. If so desired, memorial donations may be made in Brenda’s name to Four Footed Friends, 220 Beck Road, Indiana, PA 15701.
