Brenda Silveria

(1952-2010)

While Brenda Silveria was fighting to keep Valley Station Post Office open many people didn’t know that she was also battling cancer.  Sadly, last Friday Brenda passed away.

Brenda retired from the U.S. Postal Service and worked at the Valley Station branch off Dixie Highway.  In 2009 the Valley Station Post Office was one of the locations considered to be closed.  Brenda began a petition drive and hand delivered over 2000 signatures to the postmaster in an effort to keep postal services in her community.  After receiving the petitions, it was announced that the post office would remain open.

We honor Brenda’s accomplishments by sharing with you the video of Councilman Hawkins thanking her for keeping the branch open.  The video below was recorded in August 2009.

Brenda, may peace be “delivered” to you and your family.
