Brenda had the best, most infectious laugh and loved every student she supported. She was kind, dedicated and loved being a mom. You could often hear her bragging about her sons in their hockey and soccer seasons, she was so proud of them always! My sincerest condolences to you all, God gained the most beautiful Angel!

From: Sheila Christianson
My condolences Camille, Paul, Derrick and Matthew. Brenda was truly a beautiful soul and she will be forever missed. I am truly saddened to hear of her passing as I have so many good memories with Brenda, at work and sitting on a bleacher somewhere watching our kids play hockey. Her pride in her family was remarkable. Rest in peace Brenda.

Relation: Childhood friend
Brenda, you are gone much too soon. We should have had so many years left to reminisce over memories from elementary through to high school–all those laughs in band practice, passing notes in the Chemistry lab. We managed to reconnect too seldom over the years since, but I always expected there would be more opportunities in the years to come. This photo was taken during the Strongfield homecoming in 2017–my daughter Sarah took it, and I remember how we laughed when she said, “Now I know why my Mom is the way she is–she is like the friends she had in her childhood.” If that truly can be said of me, then I hope I do reflect the warmth of your loving heart, your kindness and good cheer. I so wish we had been granted more time with you, and I am heartbroken to hear that you have left us. Nevertheless, you will remain in our hearts, and your memory will be a blessing to us always. We love you, Brenda.
