Brenda Lou Conley, 62, our precious B-B, passed away Friday, February 2, 2024, at her residence on 320 Woodhill Drive in Morehead, Kentucky after an illness of 1 1/2 years. Brenda was the 9th child of ten children.
She was born on November 1, 1961, in Maysville, Kentucky to the late Clyde and Raney Eldridge Conley.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her three brothers, Eddie Conley, Gary Ray Conley, and Jimmy Conley, three sisters, Betty Jean Conley, and twin sisters Maxine and Irene Conley.
She is survived by her 3 sisters, Mary Ellen Pendland of Morehead, Madeline McKee (Terry) of Muses Mill, Kentucky, and Cathy Wilson (Denny) of Morehead, several nieces, nephews, friends and family members that will sadly miss her.
Brenda was of the Christian faith. She was a single homemaker who didn't have any children of her own, but loved her nieces and nephews so very deeply and treated them as if they were her own. Her home was a safe haven for them when they would visit her. She was an avid UK basketball fan, and they loved watching her cheer for them and yell at the refs. She watched game shows with them and when it was 7:00PM, Brenda was right there to guess the puzzle on Wheel of Fortune before everyone. She loved playing UNO, Rummy, and was the Phase 10 champion and the Queen B of the family. She loved sitting on the front porch enjoying the sunshine. She loved going to Reno's Restaurant with her sisters spending time visiting, talking and eating the rolls and fish dinner. She greeted everyone with a hug and smile. She never complained about anything. She would always ask "how you were doing?". She was the most precious, special person anyone would ever meet. She will be truly missed by all her knew her.
