I miss Brenda daily--her hearty laugh and rolling of her eyes as we joked over peculiar catalog records at LC. She was the most courageous gal suffering through years of ill health and not complaining. Andshe was the devoted nurse to her parents as they aged. I just found a picture of her and me hugging on the sidewalk across the street from LC. Peace be with her. Much love, Janet a friend at work .

Brenda and I worked together for decades. Even after I retired she and I talked by phone frequently Friday nights. She was a dedicated professional and a dear friend with a droll sense of humor and compassionate sensibility. RIP, Brenda. Janet MacDonald

My deepest sympathy belatedly. I worked with Brenda for many years at LC. Just sorry to have lost touch after I retired. She was a very warm and caring person.
So sorry I only found out about her passing yesterday. Would have liked to attend the service.

Brenda was the long time partner (20+ years) of my brother.
Over the years, my family has enjoyed having Brenda participate in all of our family activities. We all loved her.
Brenda was a great sports fan and could talk about the games and players of any sports team.
She was a soft spoken, kind, decent and lovely lady. We will miss her greatly.
RIP Brenda.
