Brenda Darlene Rowan

Brenda Darlene Rosenauer Rowan, 76, of Pearsall, Texas, passed away on Thursday, January 22nd, 2026 in Pearsall at her home. She was born 12/27/1949 to Charles Edward Rosenauer and Eula Lee Saunders Rosenauer.

As a beautiful young child, Brenda was full of determination. She was born with beautiful auburn hair that turned blond as she grew older. Her father adored her and spoiled her.

She enjoyed being with her siblings. They had great times visiting their grandparents farm where they could run and play in the sandy fields. She was baptized in the First Baptist Church in Pearsall.

She was an excellent student and did very well in school. She was friendly and outgoing and had many friends. She played French horn in band and was a cheerleader in high school. She was active and enthusiastic and always busy.

She completed LVN school and after receiving her license worked at the hospital in Dilley. We always heard stories of babies being named after her for the births she assisted delivery with. She left nursing and worked at the courthouse for Cecil Blagg as a receptionist/secretary. During that time, she drove back and forth to San Antonio to complete her Nursing degree and to become a licensed RN. She worked in the hospital in Midland/Odessa, Texas. They moved back to Pearsall to be near family and Brenda worked at Frio Regional Hospital until she retired, after about 40 years. She loved being a nurse and helping people. Working in the Emergency Room at the hospital was her favorite job. She must have helped a million people during her years.

On December 16, 1970, she married Billy G. Rowan. Besides the Lord as her rock, Billy was as well. And they are now reunited in heaven after her being a widow for 19 years. The best times of her life were after her marriage to Billy Rowan. They both loved children and animals.

They enjoyed spending time with their nieces and nephew and friend's children. She loved going places with her nephews and nieces and being there as much for big events, birthdays, and more. They adopted and cared for horses, wild burros, cats, dogs and a parrot.

Brenda and Bill also enjoyed traveling and many times joined family members in Texas, Michigan, Missouri, Maryland, and North Carolina for fishing and sightseeing. They loved and enjoyed their family and the times they spent with them.

She is survived by her siblings Linda Charlene Sweet (Jim), Charles William Rosenauer (Denise), Susan Leann Brown (Leonard). She is additionally survived by her nephews and nieces: Desiree Sweet Halsor (Rob), Monica Brown Parks (Dalvis), and Brandon Travis Brown, and her great nephews and nieces: Zachary Clark Halsor, Everett Parks, Beckett Parks, and Suzette Parks. Brenda is also survived by her extended family, Delia and Luis (Weyo) Gonzales and their family.
