She returned to the Los Angeles area in 1973 to teach the same subject at Ambassador College in Pasadena, where she also was director of the school’s public radio station. In 1978, Mrs. Brewer began teaching radio, television and film classes at CSUN. She retired in 1984.

Mrs. Brewer was a member of American Women in Radio and Television, which once voted her Woman of the Year, and also appeared in television commercials and performed in little theater.

In addition to her husband of 19 years, Mrs. Brewer is survived by her stepsons Stephen Brewer of Roseburg, Ore., and Jonathan Brewer of Palos Verdes Estates; stepdaughter Marta Hedlund of Marina del Rey, and four step-grandchildren.
