Brenda Horninger Obituary

Brenda Lee (Conklin) Horninger, 67, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on May 23, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Freemansburg on November 11, 1957, Brenda was a lifelong resident of the Lehigh Valley. She worked over the years at Fabknit Mills, Alton Fabrics, and Day-Timers before channeling her creativity into her own business, Photography by Brenda Lee. Brenda was a devoted wife and mother whose family meant everything to her. Her greatest joy in life was raising her children and creating a warm, welcoming home. She had a talent for gardening and took great pride in planting her flower and vegetable gardens each spring. Known for her vibrant spirit and generous heart, Brenda enjoyed hosting friends and family for holidays and special occasions. She made everyone feel special - a welcoming soul, a trusted confidant, a steady listener, and a source of wise, heartfelt advice. Brenda is survived by her husband, Robert F. Horninger; their children: Crystal (Briana) Sipling, Branden (Lucy) Horninger, Alyx Horninger, and Donovan (Karlie Williams) Horninger; brothers Ricky (Linda) Conklin and Anthony Greene; mother-in-law Alice Horninger; many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews; and her loyal dog, Ziggy. Brenda was preceded in death by her mother, Margaret (Greene) Conklin; brother, Billy Greene; sister-in-law, Sharon Greene; and father-in-law, Joseph Horninger. Services: A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at Cantelmi Long Funeral Home, 500 Linden Street, Bethlehem, PA 18018.
