May 21, 1963 - March 26, 2024

Brenda Gay Long, born May 21, 1963, passed away peacefully at her home Tuesday, March 26, 2024. Brenda was born in Boone County, Arkansas to Huey P. and Nora Hampton Long alongside her twin, Linda.

Brenda grew up on the family farm in Marion County. She was a 1981 graduate of Yellville-Summit. After several years of living in Wichita, Kansas Brenda moved back home to be closer to family and was able to care for her mother in her last moments.

In her lifetime Brenda had many difficulties, medically, which she fought daily to overcome, exceeding expectations. Her sister, Jackie, would like honor Brenda for all of the help, love, care and support she gave during her niece, Jessie's life.

Brenda loved life and loved her family, especially her nieces and nephew and her great nieces and great nephews. Her most precious memories was her special bond with her twin sister, Linda and her paternal grandmother, Lydia (Mommo). Brenda was a caring and sweet friend to all. Anyone who knew Brenda knew she was a very generous person with kindness, goodness and love in her heart. She will always be remembered as being herself and for all of her determination.

Brenda is survived by her two sisters, Jackie (Tracy) Wynn and Sandra Long both of Yellville; a brother, Donald Long of Missouri; her three nieces, Andrea (Brandon) Smith, Emily (Stephen) McGee, Olivia (Chris) Coatney all of Yellville and one nephew, Clinton White of Gassville. She is also survived by her great nieces and nephews, Colton Smith, Kennedy Smith, Milo McGee, Sonny McGee, IndyAnna Coatney and soon to be, Rafe Coatney.

Brenda was preceded in death by her paternal and maternal grandparents; her parents; her twin sister, Linda and her niece, Jessica.

We believe that through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Brenda is in her eternal heavenly home.

Services to be held by the family at a later date.
