Brenda Yee passed away while in the loving care of her Alfred Egan Home family in Bow Island, Alberta on Saturday, December 27, 2014, at the age of 48 years. Brenda was born on August 10, 1966, in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. She lived with her family until November 26, 1971, when she was admitted to Wetaskiwin Centre at the age of 5 years.

I was a caregiver to Brenda many years ago at Wetaskiwin Centre. Even then she had a beautiful smile and appreciated the attention given her as we explored the things we could do to enrich the lives of the group she spent her time with. It's great to read about family and friends that continued to provide enrichment to her life. My condolences to all who are a part of her family and extended family.
