Brenda C. Duke, age 73, of Bryant, Ark., passed away peacefully on July 21, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born to the late John Howard Carothers and Olene Williams Carothers she grew up with a deep appreciation for family, faith, and community. She carried those values throughout her life, pouring her heart into raising her three children and later delighting in the joys of being a grandmother.
She is survived by her three beloved children: Donald Duke Jr., Jennifer Duke Jones, and Belinda Duke Pitts and her eight cherished grandchildren, who will forever remember her warmth, laughter, and unconditional love. Preceded in death by her parents, she now rests in their eternal embrace.
Brenda will be remembered for her kindness, her strength, and her unwavering devotion to those she loved most. Her legacy will live on in the traditions she passed down, the lessons she taught, and the memories she created.
