Brenda (age 95) a proud Montanan, was born in 1930 to Dr. and Mrs. Hewes Overstreet Harris (Lillian) in the back seat of their Star Automobile while on their way to the hospital in Columbus, Montana. Fifteen minutes later, her twin brother, Jackson Dell Harris, made his appearance.
She moved to Hot Springs Village in 2004 and retirement suited her with time to thoroughly indulge her hobbies – writing, weaving, knitting, playing poet and volunteering at the Coronado Library.
Proceeded in death by her parents, her husband, Robert E. (Bob) Thomas, her twin brother Jack, sister-in-law Cec and grandson Andru Dell Johnson. Brenda is survived by her two daughters, Deborah Dell Mead (Neil) of Vermont and Kristin Kay Webb of Hot Springs Village, AR. She is also survived by grandsons James Head, Philip Johnson, Wesley Baker, Bo Johnson, only grand-daughter, Brynn Roberts along with nine great-grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren, four nieces and one nephew.
Thank you Lord for the eternal rest you prepared for me 10/09/2025.
