Brenda Wooten, 77, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on Sunday, October 5, 2025. She was a proud graduate of Red Bank High School and a longtime resident of Chattanooga, known for her kind heart, strong spirit, and unwavering dedication to her loved ones.

Brenda spent much of her professional life serving others with grace and skill as an office manager. Her career included time with Siskin and Dr. Milan, and she dedicated over 15 years of loyal service to Dr. Holliday.

A gifted athlete throughout her life, Brenda's passion for sports never faded. She continued to compete well into her later years, playing softball in the Senior Olympics - a true testament to her energy, determination, and love for the game. Brenda was also a devoted Atlanta Braves fan.

Above all, Brenda's greatest joy came from her family, especially her grandchildren, whom she adored beyond measure. Her love for them was unconditional, and she took pride in every moment she spent with them.

She leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and kindness. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, and remembered always for her vibrant spirit and the lives she touched.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 36 years, Mitchell "Woot" Wooten; parents, Chuck and Leona Grant; sisters, Darlene Perry and Saundra Hall, as well as several aunts.

Brenda is survived by her son, Alfie Dodd (Aleshia); brother, Michael "Mickey" Grant and his close friend, Lynn Donlon; grandchildren, Urijah and Moses Dodd; cousins, Martha Brock, Becca Brock and Carol Dennis; nieces, Alicia Wright, Denise and Jenny, as well as her furry four-legged friend, Betsy.

The family will receive friends on Thursday, October 9, 2025 from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. at Turner Funeral Home. A funeral service will follow at 5 p.m. in the chapel.

Burial will be private.
