Brenda Stinson Obituary

Brenda Diane Allie Stinson, 66, of Troutville, Va., went to be with the Lord and her husband, G. Don (Donnie) Stinson, on Tuesday evening, October 27, 2009. She was a loving wife, mother, and NaNa. Brenda was born on June 5, 1943, in Roanoke, Va. She attended Jefferson High School and later Dominion Business College. Brenda worked for Halmode Apparel for over 30 years and most recently for ECPI Technical College as Director of Financial Aid. She was preceded in death by her husband of 33 years, Gerald Don Stinson; and her father, Dewey Allie. She is survived by her sons, Gregory Scott Stinson and Jeffrey Don Stinson; her granddaughters, Christina Marie Stinson, Kathleen Diane Stinson, and Courtney Renee Stinson; her mother, Blanche Allie; her sisters, June Stump, Kathy Simmons, and Angie Price; and her bother, Tommy Allie. Brenda was a loving, wonderful person and touched the lives of everyone around her. She loved to laugh, sing, and praise God for all of the small miracles so many take for granted. The joys and love she shared so much of with her family and friends will be sorely missed and never forgotten. A funeral service will be held at noon on Friday, October 30, 2009, at Oakey's Vinton Chapel with the Rev. George E. Stevenson officiating. Interment will follow in Mountain View Cemetery, Vinton.

Dearest Brenda...I still am not able to accept your loss. I cry because it's a sunny day and I cry when the weather is bad. How much I miss you I could never put into words. My heart breaks and I need you back and can't get you back and trying to figure out what my life means now without you. I am changed forever for knowing and loving you. I miss you so much it's painful. Only getting by by reminding myself that I will one day see you again. What I'd give to have you back.
I'll love you always and forever-my best friend in the world. And I'll carry your spirit for the rest of my days.

Dear Stinson Family,

I am sorry for the lost of Mrs. Brenda Stinson. She was an awesome lady who dedicated herself to keeping a smile on one's face as well as her own's. As a student at ECPI Technical College, she was one of my best staff members and she will most certainly be well missed....Take care and I will keep you all in my prayers.

Greg and Jeff,

I am so sorry about Brenda. She was such a remarkable lady. I still remember us riding to school during our junior-high days listening to 80s music on that "K" station back when they played "cool" music. Your mom was definately with the times and ranked high on the "coolness" scale.

She always had a sweet smile and fantastic sense of humor. I cannot imagine what you are going through, but know you are being thought of, prayed for, and you have many friends out here for you.

Jeff,
I 'm in total shock to hear about your mother's passing. I was very fond of her and I'm heartbroken to know that everyone who had the pleasure to know her had lost a very special lady. She was always sweet and had a smile on her face. Your family is in my prayers and ECPI will never be the same without her.

Jeff,

What a kind, gentle and lovely face your Mother had – pictures are worth a thousand words. Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers now and as you work your way through this difficult time. I am completely confident that there is nothing your Mother enjoyed more in her life than being a mother to her two sons – one of life’s greatest blessings for both mother and child.

Jeff and Greg,

I am speechless and heartbroken that your mother, Brenda has passed away. She was a good friend and a cohort in working at ECPI. We spoke almost every day and we enjoyed many laughs and conversations about her family, faith and life in general. I remember when she first came to work, that she had this wonderful smile and it seemed to make things better. I will also say that she gave me a lot of advice and for that I will be forever grateful and cherish her memory. It was a privilege, no honor; in just knowing her and having the opportunity to know her as well as your family as she shared many memories of your family with me. May Peace be with your family and if there is something I can do to ease the pain of your loss, just ask.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

My most special memory of this family is everyone coming to Dad & Mom's(the Roanoke's Tommy and Joan) house one summer afternoon about..33 years ago..All the Allies and Schoonovers had the neighborhood rocking to the music. Everyone playing, singing, hyms and country. All us kids running and climbing trees, and Moms homemade ICECREAM. I'll never forget my Brenda's beautiful smile and tight hugs and a kiss on the cheek! If half the world would show Gods love as she did we would all live in a sweeter place. I'm gonna miss you! GOD HAS A NEW ANGEL!!
I love you all and my prayers are with each of you.
