Brenda was like an aunt to me for as long as I can remember. She worked at Loose Leaf with my Mom, along with several other family members and friends, and she became such a special part of our lives.
She was a kind, caring, and loving woman who deeply loved Jesus. I will always cherish her encouraging words, her love, and the way her beautiful soul seemed to shine wherever she was.
I will miss her dearly, but I’m thankful for the love and memories she left behind. Her life was a beautiful reflection of the love of Jesus, and I know she will be deeply missed by so many. ❤️
Love you Brenda,
Danny, Tanya, Sophie, Ethan & Shea
Brenda was my Nanas best friend and has been in me and my sisters lives forever. She was the sweetest kindest most gentle woman i have ever met. She was a second grandma to us. She helped us when we needed her the most. I remember times going over to her house and she would always have her door open and as we walk in she would be in the kitchen already making us something to snack on. Im gunna miss her dearly. We love you Brenda!! Love Ashley and Mariah
Brenda was one of the most caring compassionate person you could ever meet. My Nana and her were friends from work they worked at the hat factory together and they used to love to go out and dance together after work. She loved going to church and being a devoted Christian. Her and her best friend JC were like aunts to me as a kid. She was a huge animal lover and always loved to help out anyway she can with them. She loved Elvis Presley and Rod Stewart. Brenda was one of those people you could call with anything my Nana and her had one of the strongest friendships they have been friends for over 35 years.
Brenda was my wife, Carol Keil’s, dearest friend. She was fun loving, warm, kind and generous and will be dearly missed missed by all who knew her.
