Brenda Wright Obituary
January 12, 1924 – September 8, 2016
Brenda passed away peacefully while at Rockyview Hospital on
Thursday, September 8, 2016. Brenda was born January 12, 1924
in Chilliwack, BC, moving to England as a child. As a young
woman in England, Brenda was a competitive swimmer and
also served as a Wren in the British war effort during WWII.
Brenda met and married her husband John during the war and
later together, they made their way to Canada, settling on the
outskirts of Calgary. Brenda embraced her life in rural Alberta,
where she raised her family and spent much of her time in her
incredible gardens.
Brenda will be greatly missed by her son Stephen, and daughter
Wendy Watson; grandchildren Anissa and Adrian; and great
grandchildren Jade, Honor, Moise, Emery, and Parker. Brenda is
predeceased by John.
A small family celebration of Brenda's life will be held at a later date.
If friends so desire, Memorial Tributes in Brenda's memory may be
made to a charity of choice.
