Brenda was such a kind soul and sweet spirit. Her sense of humor was as excellent as her smile. Such a good person and a friend to everyone she met. She will be missed by all who were blessed to know her.

Jimmy, Phill, and Lela
We were so saddened to hear about Brenda. Know that our heavenly Father hurts each time someone dies, because he cares deeply for each and every one of us. He has given all authority to his son and soon Jesus will remove all pain, sickness, and death. What a wonderful day that will be for us when all those we love are resurrected from death. (Revelation 21:3,4)
May this hope and your fond memories comfort and sustain you until you see her again.

Our hearts are heavy at the loss of Brenda
“Baby Joyce†. Her loss leaves a big empty space in her families lives and in Marianna. She was truly one of a kind with a big heart like her momma and her husband. The words “Snow ball man†will never mean the same without her laughing and calling her Uncle Tony by that name ! That was their tease to each other! and she was “Baby Joyceâ€! We will miss you Brenda.
Jimmy , Lela, Keith, and families we love you. Prayers for strength to get thru these coming days. Our hearts are with you.
