Brenda was a one-in-a-million and I'll always have fond memories of her and the time we worked together at Pantry Pride in Randallstown. I feel knowing her was a gift. She was an inspiration to me.

I am sorry to hear about Brenda's passing. My condolences to her family and loved ones. I met Brenda at a party in the 80's, and she and her then husband and I quickly became friends. Brenda had a large personality and was enthusiastic about everything, including scuba diving (even with her CF!!).
She was wonderful, outgoing person and, well, genuine.
May Brenda rest in peace.

Brenda, you were a gem and a great friend and colleague in every way. You and I worked together at Pantry Pride, back in the late sixties and you made the job a little brighter. You always had the ability to walk into a room and generate excitement into the very air, just by your mere presence. And when I think of you, I think of good times. Knowing you meant a lot to me.

My condolences to her family and friends. I knew Branda way back when, at least since the early 70s. She had loads of spunk, staying active despite her medical issues. Born with cystic fibrosis, she lived much longer than many people with this disease. She didn't complain, didn't ask why me? She moved forward with her life, doing the best she could, and that was quite a lot. She was an inspiration. RIP
