Brenda and I grew up together in the Catherine St. neighborhood. So many fond childhood memories shared with her grandparents, parents and brother. We were born on the same day, just a few years apart. You will be missed cousin.
Brenda’s kitchen table hospitality is etched on my heart. So grateful to have been welcomed by her warmth and genuine love of others. Thank you Rutter & Glenn families for that same warm welcome whenever I was in your neck of the woods. Whatever part of your memories needs the comfort of a hug, consider it done. God bless you all with peace and comfort and smiles every time you think of Brenda.
Brenda was a kind, warm, and welcoming woman. She was like a mother to me. She took me in with no hesitation and treated me like one of her children. I am so grateful God allowed such a wonderful woman to be part of my life! She welcomed everyone who came to her home with an open heart and open arms. She loved her family and always made a great way to take care of those that crossed her path. Brenda will be missed and loved forever more!!! I pray God blesses friends and family with peace and happiness in this time of sorrow!!!
