Brenneman, Edna Lichty Brenneman and Reta Gingerich; brothers, sisters, brothers in law and sisters in law; Elaine and Walter Fretz, Robert Jutzi, Lucille Jantzi, Grant Jutzi, Helen Brenneman, Jean and Delton Bowman, and Lois Ann Brenneman.
Nelda lived her life with compassion, integrity, kindness, and love. She devoted much of her time to her family, and friends, ensuring others around her were supported physically and emotionally. She was an integral part of her husband Ray’s dream and accomplishment of establishing and building Expressway Motors. Over the years, Nelda held many roles at the dealership as a cleaner, driver, and most importantly, receptionist always eager to provide exceptional customer service.
Nelda was a dedicated mother and grandmother and made it a priority to ensure everyone had what they needed and more. Nelda was an active volunteer with the Nithview Auxiliary, and a long-time member of Wilmot Mennonite Church with strong faith and determination. Nelda had a great love for music, spending time at Chesley Lake, and travelling around the world with Ray. She was a consummate hostess, loved to ‘lunch’, and had a keen fashion sense.
