Ms. McNabb was one of my favorite teachers in middle school, and always made me feel at home whenever I visited. She will be sorely missed.

My deepest apologies for the family of Mrs. Brenda. She taught my daughter and I knew her well from being in pto. Greenbrier Schools and my daughter were blessed to have such a caring, thoughtful, teacher whom shaped many minds in our school district. Their wasn't a time that I asked Becky for something for pto that she wasn't eager to help, with her ever ending smile the students and staff enjoyed being around her.
Although this grieving and holidays are so hard I ask the Lord to wrap his loving arms around you and your family and give you comfort in these upcoming times. May your cherished memories of her bring happiness to all.
God bless you

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Mc Nabb. She was sweet, kind, was always happy and had a smile on her face every time I was around her. She was a great cook as well and it was from her kitchen I got my first taste of Squash pie and it was fantastic! I have many great memories of fantastic times with Brent, Kent, and Kevin at their home. I especially recall the Cowjam cookouts hosted by Luther and Brenda. Luther, Brenda and the entire family always made me feel welcome. Peace of Christ and prayers for Luther, Brent, Kent, Kevin and the rest of the McNabb family.

Brenda made a huge difference in My life! She not only taught me Science in the 7th Grade, but was also like a mom to me! Some of my favorite and life changing memories of all time was spent at the McNabb house on Merit Road in Greenbrier, I also consider her a close Friend!

I had Mrs. McNabb as a teacher in Jr High. She was strict but ok! I gave her a lot of crap and for that I’m sorry! I saw her long after I was a grownup and apologized to her and we had a laugh about it! Sorry to hear of her passing. Prayers for her family.

My heart hurts because you'll be missed. A beautiful person, who never said anything bad about anybody she was always kind. Her blue eyes lit up when she talked about her students, the years of teaching, horses, camping, travels and that little dog "Bugs" and her grandchildren. Thanks for the joys you shared. It is a blessing to know you. Miss you now and will miss you later, glad to have known you. We know where you are, and in that place, we know there are no tears, and you are perfectly fine, and in that promise there is comfort because we know who holds tomorrow. God BLess the McNabbs and all those that loved Brenda. Thanks for the memories and laughter- until we meet again.
