Brenda Lynn GARRETT

Passed away peacefully with her family at her side on Tuesday May 16, 2023, at the age of 64. Cherished and dearly loved mother of Brent Asselin and Craig Asselin (Christa). She will be dearly missed by her niece Jillian, nephew Evan (Shauny), sister-in-law Carole, and her beloved four-legged companions Mac and Orange Guy. Predeceased by her parents William and Jennie (nee Rosloski) Garrett, as well as her brother Wayne Garrett. Brenda wanted the best life for her family, so she returned to school to earn her CMA designation. She then turned her talents toward civil service, working for Community Living Welland/Pelham and The Regional Municipality of Niagara. Her efforts as the Treasurer of the Town of Niagara-on-the-lake earned the town its first Canadian Award for Excellence in Financial Reporting, an accomplishment of which she was most proud. During this time she continued her education, receiving a Bachelor of Business Administration from Brock University, followed by a Master of Public Administration from the University of Western Ontario at the age of 58. In the end, she retired to focus her efforts on her vineyard in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Accomplished both professionally and personally, she will be remembered most for her wonderful laugh, her commitment to family, and for being outstanding in her field. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Nick, Bob and Claire, Juravinski Cancer Centre, Hamilton General Hospital Neurosurgery department, Bonnie and the rest of the nursing staff. Cremation has taken place, with the Rite of Committal to take place at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to the PATTERSON FUNERAL HOME, 6062 Main St. Niagara Falls.
