UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Brenda Sue DuMont, passed away April 28, 2017, at the age of 59.

Brenda was born Dec. 15, 1957, in Fort Bragg, Calif., to Pete DuMont and Christine Thornbrugh.

She was a 25-year resident of Upper Lake. She was the third generation to live in Upper Lake. She loved the small town and being involved with the community.

Brenda had a lifelong love for cooking and baking and freely shared this passion with loved ones.

While stationed in Europe with her first husband, she attended culinary art classes allowing a passion to turn into a career.

Working as a chef throughout Northern California gave her the opportunity to win the hearts and trust of many, share her sweet and modest demeanor; and best of all culinary talent! Those touched by her faith, love, kindness, continuous laughter and persistent humor will not forget her.

She was preceded in death by her father, Pete Dumont; mother and stepfather, Christine and Lynn Thornbrugh; and sister, Betty Hathorne.

Brenda is survived by her daughters: Christina Chafin of Reno, Nev., Olivia Rubio of Lakeport, Calif. and Suzzie Chapa of the Bay Area; 10 grandchildren, BrendaSue, Edward, Baby, Danny, Cody, Mariana, Alex, Izabella, Zoe and Brooklyn; expecting her first great grandchild Julian; her sisters, Sharon Lawson and Tammy Gardner; brothers, Larry DuMont, Gary DuMont, David Gould and Mark Gardner; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
