Brenda Lee Broulik, 66, of Olin, Iowa, passed away on Sunday, December 22, 2024, at her home. A Celebration of Life will be held 2-5:00 p.m., Saturday, January 4, 2025, at Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services, Mount Vernon, Iowa.
Brenda was born on May 10, 1958, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the daughter of Donald and Sharon (Erger) Raim. She was united in marriage to Dale Broulik on September 15, 1979.
Brenda was a loving wife, mother, and most of all loved being a grandma. She was an Olin school board member, loved sports and coached for several years. She was the visionary and co-founded Glyn Mawr Winery and The Local in uptown Mount Vernon with her daughter. Her passion for making old new, and bringing The Local building to life was a true joy for her. She had a big heart, would help anyone, and was truly loved and adored by all who knew her. Anyone who knew Brenda knows that nothing meant more to her than her family and friends.
Brenda is survived by her husband, children, Clayton Broulik, Anna (Luke) Wilson, Chase (Julia) Broulik; grandchildren, Landon Wilson, Ella Wilson, Lane Wilson, Winry Broulik, and Harrison Broulik; and siblings, Robert Raim, Richard (Carie) Raim, Barb Garry, and Belle Dunkin.
Brenda was preceded in death by her parents.
