Brenda Boltenhouse

Brenda K. Boltenhouse, a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, and great grandmother passed away on May 2, 2025, at the age of 72. Born in Volga, West Virginia on February 13, 1953, to the late William and Kathryn “Joan” Simons.

Brenda leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter, cherished by her family and friends. She is survived by her husband Tony Boltenhouse of almost 54 years; children Tracy (Bill) Shirey, Jason (Hillairy) Boltenhouse, and Kyle (Ashleigh) Karshner; grandchildren Kage Stewart, Hanna (James) Ditmar, and Caden Boltenhouse; great grandchildren Paisleigh, Brentley, Kennedy, Noah, and Silas. Brenda has three sisters left to mourn the loss of their big sister, Debra (John) Peters, Diane (Dave) Duvall, and Darla (Jeff) Snyder. She also leaves behind her best friends Debbie Garrett and Vickie Taylor; many nieces, nephews and her dog Diezel.

For more than three decades, Brenda was the heart and soul of the skating rink at Circle D. Brenda made the rink more than a place to skate-it became a second home for so many, with many referring to her as “Mom.”

In accordance with Brenda’s wishes, there will be no formal service. The family will be privately honoring her memory. A Celebration of Life will be planned for a later date.
