Brenda Bess Obituary
For 25 years, Brenda shared a life of love and commitment with her wife, Linda Pettit. Together, they created a home filled with warmth and joy, along with their cherished Maltese dogs, Aspen and Alexis. Brenda's love for her pets knew no bounds, and their memory remains a source of comfort and love.
Brenda found solace in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was playing a game of solitaire, delving into the magical worlds of Merlin and Harry Potter, or sharing her heart with those around her. Her kindness touched the lives of many, leaving a legacy of positivity and love that will continue to resonate.
As we bid farewell to Brenda, we celebrate the beautiful angel she was and the love she brought into this world. The world indeed needs more individuals like her-those who spread love effortlessly and impact every life they touch positively. Brenda Bess will be immensely missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
We love you, Brenda. Your light will forever shine in our memories.

I first met Brenda thru Linda whom I worked with at a dinner event. After meeting Brenda I learned we shared a passion for our dogs. I also quickly learned I wasn´t spoiling my dog enough till Brenda told me how much she pampered Alexis´s and Aspen. I will always remember Brenda for her smile and warmth she showed everyone she met.

I met Brenda thru Linda whom i met at work and became my friend. Both of them are the sweetest souls. Brenda though she was sick already she worried about Linda and thought of Linda's welfare all the time. She was so loving and kind-hearted. They have the most devoted & genuine loving relationship.

Brenda and Linda with John and myself shared a double wedding ceremony on the beach in Province Town Massachusetts. It was such a precious experience full of nothing but love, friendship, and so much joy! Brenda exuded that kind of love every single day! You will be missed, but your next chapter begins. She showed so much courage and strength with what she had to face in her life. I learned so much from her. Thank you for all the good times and a fierce wonderful friendship!

Brenda´s story was an amazing one, one full of adventure and experiences. May she rest now, and may her adventure continue on in our hearts.

This has a been a real struggle for me, I generally never shut up but trying to find words for Brenda has been difficult. She was always so happy and friendly, and the first time I ever met Branda was when my wife took me to their house...sorry Aspen and Alexis house, to get groomed, those two always lost their minds barking their heads off. Always calm and polite was Brenda telling them they were over reacting and that this was nothing new... And honestly I don't think either dog believed her, haha.
There are so many wonderful stories, lunches we all shared together and helping in Linda and Brenda's new apartments, it was always fun helping them set up items around the house. Brenda will be missed not just by myself and Ashley but by the world she shared with all of us. However she will always have a few chapters in my life's story book, and hilarious images to go with them.

We were nurses together at Kaiser Permanente. I have many lovely memories, but the last memory was of she and Linda and I hiking in Colorado and eating a vegan meal. She was a lovely, kind and caring woman. We lost touch and I just happened to find her obituary today. My deepest sympathies to Linda and all family and friends. May her memory bring comfort.
