Brenda will always be remembered as a caretaker who loved to feed and take care 
of others. An excellent cook and loving nurturer, Brenda always made sure you 
felt her love in her presence and maintained that same warm feeling even when 
you left. She had Jesus in her heart and loved to smile and share her faith. 
She felt that God gave her the gift of bringing people back to their faith 
through her unending positive outlook on life and by walking in faith even 
during her illness.

The family would like to thank everyone who visited our dear Brenda and was 
part of her life. In her final wishes, she asked that we thank those who didn't 
know her, yet prayed for her regularly. You are all blessed.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in her name to St. Genevieve 
Catholic Church Building Fund.
