Brenda Lee Baldocchi

Brenda Lee Baldocchi, of Crystal Lake, passed away on March 8, 2025, at the age of 74. Brenda was born on October 30, 1950, in Chicago to Clyde and Violet Infinger.

Brenda's journey of love began early in life when she met her high school sweetheart, Jerry, at Maine East High School. She was just 14, and he was 15, when their paths first crossed. Their bond grew through the years, and they married shortly after graduation, beginning a life together filled with cherished memories. Brenda and Jerry shared five decades of love, laughter, and partnership.

Brenda had a passion for Hawaii, especially Maui, which held a special place in her heart. She loved the ocean and boating or swimming with dolphins; she always found peace and happiness in the water.

Her adventurous spirit extended to her love of music; she enjoyed singing and playing her guitar, often filling the home with the sweet sound.

An incredible cook, Brenda was known for her delicious meals and none more so than her famous spaghetti, a dish that brought people together around the table, sharing not just food, but love and laughter.

Brenda’s most extraordinary accomplishment was being a mother, she dedicated her life to nurturing and loving her children. Scott, Christina, and Jason were the center of her world, and she took immense pride in their accomplishments and happiness. Her nurturing spirit and boundless love created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished memories. Brenda's legacy as a devoted and loving mother and grandmother will forever be remembered by her family.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Jerry, her loving children Scott (Tammy) Baldocchi, Christina (James) Brewer, and Jason (Jennifer) Baldocchi; her grandchildren, Jessica Carlin, Tyler Brewer, Amanda Brewer and Ava Baldocchi; great-grandchild, Amaranta.

She was preceded in death by her parents and brother.
