She never met a stranger and you wanted to be around her because she made you feel so good. Her laughter rings in my ears. Brenda was everyone’s mother and you felt safe when she was around.

Never judging never showing any ego. Brenda showed me what it means to be good. Her kindness, love and humor made me a better person.

I will be eternally grateful for the joy she brought to me and so many others”. Brenda was preceded in death by her father, Joseph Matthew Brady and her mother, Katherine Jensen Brady.
