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.
