Brenda had a huge heart for kids as was evident through her role with Jim as foster parents for many years; even adopting four of the children that they cared for. Brenda was a kid at heart, playing practical jokes on people and always having a laugh at someone else’s expense… even up until her final days. Even though her health had deteriorated the last few years, Brenda always kept up her spirits and looked on the positive side of things. She was a hardworking woman who loved to socialize and spend time with her family and friends. Brenda’s favourite pastime was shopping… oh, could she shop! She will be deeply missed. A Come & Go Celebration in Brenda’s honour will be held at Jim and Brenda’s condo, 194 Sunrise Circle S.W, Medicine Hat (access via Sunrise Circle) on Monday, June 24, 2024, between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. (Condolences may be expressed by visiting
