Brenda O'Sullivan Obituary

We all will remember Brenda's smile and wicked sense of humour and her gestures of kindness to all. Her joys in life included Bandit her loyal four-legged companion of eight years, all things fine in life - food, wine, travel and good friends.

The family would like to thank Dr. Marc De Perrot for all of his support and the nurses, doctors and extended team at Sunnybrook Hospital for their fine care.

Brenda was my sister's great friend growing up. She would spend days/ years at our house after school or weekends. Swimming and just girls hanging out. Just remember the joy and laughter that came with Brenda. We were new to canada so having people like Brenda at our house filled it with laughter. Broken hearted to hear of her loss.

I was honoured to have met Brenda, and work under Brenda as a volunteer in the Mesothelioma clinic. I will always remember her smile, laugh, and kind spirit, and the way she always believed in me and my future endeavours. Brenda will always be in my heart, and an inspiration to me as a woman working in the healthcare field. She is an angel and was adored by all her patients.
