Brenda Delorise Barnes, 62 of Mechanicsville, MD, passed away on September 1, 2014 at Genesis Nursing Home, LaPlata, MD. She was born on April 14, 1952 in Leonardtown, MD to the late Frances L. Carroll and the late Thomas Barnes. Brenda received her education in St. Mary County Public School system; a graduate of Great Mills High School "Class of 1972".



Throughout the years, Brenda has been gainfully employed for several businesses, to include the commissary on base, Navy Exchange, Evans Seafood, Big Lots, Two Spot and the Horse Shoe Club. At the Horse Shoe Club is where she met the love of her life in 1977 and later married on April 30, 1982. Brenda's hobbies and interests included sight-seeing, which she loved to do, watching Family Feud, Wrestling, the soaps and visiting different churches. Brenda had a great sense of humor. She would always ask for Ray's opinion and then she would say ""You can't tell him nothing; he thinks he knows everything"". However, in the long run, Brenda ""knew it all."" Brenda also had a fascination or ""a thing"" about her and Ray dressing alike as a couple. If he did not agree with what she had decided, it was on. It was her way or the highway.



She was preceded in death by her parents, Frances L. Carroll and Thomas Barnes; brother, Joseph Carroll and grandmother, Mary Price and stepson, Ray Barnes, Jr.



Brenda leaves to cherish her memories her loving husband, Ray Barnes; her stepfather, Gene Carroll; stepchildren, Angela Braxton, Marsha Bush and Marcus Bush; brothers, Wayne Carroll (Patricia), Gene Carroll, Jr. (Audrey), James Carroll (Vera), Michael Carroll and Patrick Carroll (Lavonne); sisters, Sylvia Rothwell, Valeria Pickeral, Geraldine Barnes, Denise Barnes and Selene Senn, brother-in-law, David Barnes, nieces, nephews and a host of extended family and friends.



Family will unite with friends on Monday, September 8, 2014 for visitation at 10 am until Mass of Christian Burial at 11 am at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, 22375 Three Notch Rd, Lexington Park, MD. Interment to follow at the church cemetery.
