Brenda E. (Lemke) Luca, 50, Tallahassee, Fla., formerly of Appleton, passed away Thursday, Nov. 29, 2007, with her husband at her side after a courageous battle with cancer. Brenda was born on June 24, 1957, in Appleton, Wis., to Richard W. and Laverna (Pingel) Lemke. She graduated from Appleton East High School in 1975 and attended U.W. Eau Claire. After graduating in 1980 with a Chemistry/Business degree, Brenda moved to Ohio, working at B. F. Goodrich where she met her future husband. Brenda was united in marriage to Roger Luca on Aug. 25, 1984, in Appleton, Wis. They moved to Pougkeepsie, N.Y., from Ohio until their final move in 1988 with their young family to Tallahassee, Fla. In addition to devoting her time and self to her husband and twin boys, Brenda also was successful in the business world for years. In Tallahassee she was a tireless volunteer and raised funds for many organizations and charities. She especially loved tutoring children, which she did both in Ohio and Florida.
