Per Brenda's request, she will be cremated, and a memorial service scheduled at a later date. Her family sincerely appreciates the continued prayers, love, and friendship shown during this season of loss.
Born on January 11, 1956, in Clarksdale Mississippi, Brenda was the daughter of the late William Edward and Margaret Gray Pierce. A graduate of Holly Springs High School, she remained a lifelong resident of the Holly Springs community. In earlier years, Brenda worked as a truck driver, along with working and living for over fifty years in the Holly Springs Area.
A Christian woman with a deep appreciation for life's simple pleasures, Brenda was happiest when she was outdoors - camping beneath the stars, casting a line across a quiet pond, or traveling down country roads to wherever her heart led. Her favorite season was Christmas, when she filled her home and yard with bright, cheerful lights that reflected her vibrant personality and love for celebration.
Brenda had a way of making a lasting impression on everyone she met. She was never one to sugarcoat her thoughts and always spoke her mind with honesty and conviction. You never had to wonder where you stood with her - and that was one of her greatest strengths. Genuine, outspoken, and full of heart, she lived life on her own terms and loved deeply those who walked beside her.
Though her earthly journey has ended, her light continues to shine in the memories of those fortunate enough to have known her.
Those left to carry on her legacy include her brother and sister in law, Ronnie and Helen Pierce, a faithful friend and devoted caretaker, Billy Nelson, and a close circle of family friends that knew and loved her.
New Albany Funeral and Cremation Care invites you to share memories with Brenda's family.
