Brenda J. Vasquez, 64

February 16, 2024

Brenda J. Vasquez, age 64 of Ephrata, PA, passed away peacefully on Friday, February 16, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Guatemala City, Guatemala, and she is the daughter of Paul Lowery and the late Sara Jane Lowery. She is survived by her husband Tony Vasquez, her two sons Jonathan and David Vasquez, her daughter Debbi Vasquez and her husband Jumyung Cha. She is also survived by her dear granddaughter, Elianna Vasquez. She was the dear sister of Linda Bardales, Sandra Paredes and Mike Lowery.

Brenda loved nothing more than spending time with her family. She enjoyed spending time with others as well, making sure everyone she met felt loved and cared for. Brenda was a member of Calvary Church, where she volunteered in leading Bible studies for women in the Hispanic ministry. She served for decades in ministry service and was on the mission field with her husband and family in Spain. She had also joined her husband, Tony, serving on various ministry trips and traveled with him to various other countries in South America.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend her visitation and memorial service at Calvary Church, 1051 Landis Valley Rd, Lancaster, PA 17601, on February 25th, where we will celebrate her life and the amazing person she was. Visitation will start at 4:30 pm and the memorial service will begin at 6 pm. Viewing and interment will be private.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Calvary Church Missions Fund.

Querido hermano Tony y su familia, 
Que doloroso es lo que tienen que hacer hoy pero también, celebrar la vida de Brenda como servidora del Señor Jesus, hija, madre, esposa, y abuela.  Ojala les pudiera ver en persona en Lancaster, pero resulta que no. Les envio mis oraciones, amor, y abrazos. 
Condolences and prayers to you Tony and the Vasquez, Lowery families as you remember, celebrate, and support each other in the loss you all endure losing Brenda.  I will never forget meeting her in Lancaster, Malaga, and here again in Pennsylvania.  Few people have made the impact she has on so many for the cause of the Gospel and the Love of Christ her Savior and Lord.  With sorrow and love,

Brenda Vasquez was a special friend and a link to my chain in my life journey. Her and Tony served with our family in Spain for a time. Several years later after I left Spain I was reunited again with Brenda at Graceway. My wife and I had the privelege of serving with her in the children’s ministry. 
 
We are praying for all your family during this time and know that you are in a better place in the arms of Jesus. Cannnot wait to be once again reunited with you in heaven! Love you Brenda! ❤️🙏🏻
