Grenda Joy Chavez, age 53, passed away on May 23, 2026. She was born in Twin Falls, Idaho, and spent much of her life in Jerome, Idaho, where she touched countless lives with her kindness, faith, and joyful spirit.

Grenda was the beloved daughter of Brenda Ruth Burlington and Gary Wesley Burlington Sr. She grew up alongside her siblings, Gary Wesley Burlington Jr. and Midgy Lynn Burlington, sharing many treasured memories with her family throughout her life.

She was married to the love of her life, Jose Luis Chavez Valenciana, for 25 wonderful years. Together they built a life filled with love, faith, and family. Grenda was also a devoted mother to her four children, Zandria Christine Anzar, Maria Nicole Macial, Allison Ruth Munoz and Caleb Austin Anzar whom she loved deeply and supported endlessly.

For 17 years, Grenda worked as a preschool teacher, a role that perfectly reflected her nurturing heart and caring nature. She adored the children she taught and could happily spend hours talking about each child’s unique personality and growth. Her students and their families were blessed by her patience, warmth, and encouragement.

Grenda will always be remembered for her contagious smile and unforgettable laugh that could brighten any room. She found great joy in playing the piano, singing, and cooking for those she loved. A devoted woman of God, Grenda faced life’s storms with unwavering faith, always believing there was a light waiting at the end of the tunnel.

Her love, strength, and faith leave behind a lasting legacy in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever cherished by her family, friends, students, and community.

“Her light will continue to shine in the hearts of those she loved.”
