Brenda JESSOME Obituary
December 13, 1961 - September 28, 2015
It is with profound sadness that we the family of Brenda Lee (Williams) Jessome announce the sudden passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt on September 28, 2015. Brenda was born December 13, 1961 to Mary Ellen Williams and Cecil Frederick Williams in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. Brenda will be deeply missed by her husband of 34 years, Michael Joseph Jessome. Along with their two sons Dale (Roxanne) Jessome and Michael Anthony (Jennifer) Jessome and her two beautiful granddaughters Chloe and Mya. She is survived by her mother Mary Ellen Williams. sisters; Linda (Gerald) Thomson, Louise (John) Savory, Janet (Stuart) Macdonald, Beverly (Jim) Snook, Barbara (Ken) Kowalchuk and her two brothers Cecil (Pat) Williams and Glen (Kim) Williams. She will be greatly missed by everyone, including her nieces, nephews, daughters-in-law, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law. She was predeceased by her father Cecil Frederick Williams and her mother-in-law Martha Jessome and her two nieces Christine and Laurie Anne Thomson. Brenda loved being a Nana and treasured every moment she spent with her granddaughters. Her face lit up as soon as her "little ladies" walked into the room. She was an outgoing and enthusiastic person who loved to socialize and meet new people. She was an avid Saskatchewan Roughrider fan and spent as much time as possible cheering on "her" team at Mosaic Stadium. In keeping with Brenda's wishes, there will be a small family service. Memorial Donations can be made to: The Children's Hospital Foundation #1-345 Third Avenue, South, Saskatoon, S7K 1M6.

Our hearts ache with pain for your whole family. We know we will miss her Facebook posts with her beautiful posts of time spent with her little ladies, having dress up parties to making cookies. Her high energy doing cart wheels out on the golf course. Her love and passion for the Riders. Her high enthusiasm with the stories she could tell. The list can go on and on. We will miss her and we will be wearing our green in tribute to her on Saturday.

I am so deeply saddened to hear of Brenda's passing. Brenda was a beautiful lady who was full of life, laughter, generosity and love. I had the pleasure of working with Brenda for many years and I can say that she was one of the most hard working ladies I ever met. Like the Rider's, she had a passion for her work and fellow co-workers. Whether it was words of encouragement, a helping hand, her huge smile or a hug,,, she was always there to cheer us on.
Brenda would spread her Christmas cheer dressing up as Mrs. Claus. She loved children and never passed one by without saying, hello cutie, little princess, little man. One moment in time I will never forget was when three of us were trying to help a customer when along came our new district manager for the first time. He introduced himself and I said, hi I'm Brenda. The lady next to me said, hi I'm Brenda followed by Brenda saying and I'm Brenda also laughing and replying, we are the three B's.
When Brenda moved on to her next adventure, she never forgot us. She would make her rounds with her cheerful hello, bright smile and a huge hug. Brenda's love an pride for her family and friends was endless. Brenda touched the lives of so many,,, Rest in Peace Sweet Angel.
My Heartfelt Sympathy to Brenda's family, friends and to all who knew and loved her.
