WORTHINGTON, Iowa - Brenda S. Heiderscheit, 32, of Worthington, died Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2011, at Mercy Medical Center-Dubuque, after a 14-year battle with cancer.

Services will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 22, at St. Paul's Catholic Church, Worthington, with the Rev. Robert Gross officiating. Burial will be in the church cemetery. Friends may call from 2 to 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 21, at Kramer Funeral Home, Dyersville, where there will be a parish scripture service at 4:30 p.m.

She was born on Aug. 26, 1978, in Monticello, daughter of Eldon and Barbara (O'Dell) Jaeger. She graduated from Western Dubuque High School with the class of 1996, and went on to Northeast Iowa Community College where she earned a degree in accounting.

She married Michael Heiderscheit on May 2, 1998, at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Worthington.

Brenda began working at Dubuque Bank & Trust in Dubuque while she was in high school and has been with Milbert Financial Services in Dyersville for the past 12 years.

She was very interested in her family's genealogy, which led her to travel much of eastern Iowa and southwest Wisconsin visiting cemeteries and courthouses. She also was a big fan of the Dubuque Fighting Saints.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Urban Jaeger and Otto and Mary O'Dell; an aunt, Karen Beau; and two uncles, Clarence O'Dell and Allan O'Dell.
