July 14, 1970 - February 26, 2022
ynette Marie Vierra Brehm passed away February 26, 2022 surrounded by family at home in Acampo, California. She was married to Steve Brehm for over 28 years. Lynette was born on July 14, 1970, in Lodi. She is the daughter of Mary Ann Kester and the late Harry Kester and Vernon and Jenise Vierra of Acampo. Lynnette graduated from Lincoln High School in Stockton, California.
Lynette received her bachelor's degree from California State University, Stanislaus, and her Masters in Special Education from University of the Pacific. Lynette loved working in the classroom and was committed to her students, even getting certified to use a service dog, Cowan, to help meet her students' needs. It was this commitment that earned Lynette the Good Angel Award from the San Joaquin chapter of the American Red Cross.
Lynette's love of animals was only exceeded by her devotion to her family, taking her children to 4H competitions, volleyball matches, swim meets, soccer games-even riding with them in equestrian competitions throughout the area. She had a strong faith with a Catholic background. Most recently, Lynette took great joy in attending her son's graduation ceremony into the ranks of the United States Navy.
In addition to her husband and parents, Lynette is survived by her three children, Kelsey, Stephen, and Kayla Brehm, and her granddaughter Kenzie. She is also survived by her siblings Monica Vierra-Green, Jackie Purdy (Vierra), and John Vierra. She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Tony and Vivian Vierra, and Ellwein and Lillian Schimke, and her brother, Logan Vierra.
Her memory will be cherished by many as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend to all who loved her. A service will be held on Friday, March 11th, 2022 at St. Joachim Catholic Church at 13392 E. Lockeford Ranch Dr. at 10am. A rosary service will be held at 9am. A Celebration of Life will be held at 12:30pm at St. Jorge Winery at 22769 Bender Rd. in Acampo. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Canine Companions for Independence at 2965 Dutton Ave in Santa Rosa or Hospice of San Joaquin at 3888 Pacific Ave. in Stockton.
