Brenda Kay Moore

April 3, 1950 — July 11, 2024

Evanston

Brenda Kay Moore of Evanston, WY quietly passed away July 11, 2024. She is survived by her spouse Brent Moore, daughter Leilani, stepchildren Robert (Amy) Moore and Krissy (Riz) Bhanji, 13 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren, 5 sisters (Karen, Kathy, Pat, Sandra, & Sofia) and her beloved dogs.

Brenda was born in Savannah, Georgia on April 3, 1950 to Juan Hernandez & Ernistine Kelly. At 2 years old she contracted polio and the family moved to Panama for her treatment which was successful for a full recovery. After 2 years in Panama, they moved to Spain where she would remain for 18 years. In Spain, she fell in love with horses and became an experienced rider. In her teens, she earned the opportunity to stunt ride in the movies for Raquel Welch. She enjoyed this so much, she dropped out of high school to pursue her movie career. She continued stunt riding until she was given the most impossible ultimatum, leave Spain and return to the US, or lose her American citizenship. She returned to the states and landed in Cheyenne, WY working in the food service area at F.E. Warren base. This move resulted in meeting the love of her life, Brent. They would go on to enjoy 40 wonderful years together and almost 33 years of marriage.

Shortly after meeting Brent, she moved to Ft Collins, CO where they lived for 25 years. During that time she enjoyed being a homemaker, helping raise her stepchildren, as well as being a school bus driver for many years. She was also finally able to achieve her GED and accomplish her dream of finishing high school. After Brent’s retirement, they then moved back to Brent’s hometown of Evanston in 2010 where she enjoyed the great outdoors, spending time with family, and a quieter lifestyle until her passing.

Brenda was preceded in death by her parents and brother Herb.
