Predeceased by her parents Joe (2008) and Maris "Nicky" (2020) and brother David (1979). Loving wife to Primo Ciannavei. Big sister to Elaine (John), Mary, Gerard (Fran), Julia (Glenn), Andrea and unofficial brother Paul Legere. Loving aunt to Alexandra, Morgane, Joshua, Kailen Rose, Chloe Rae, David and great aunt to Gianna and Lazzaro. Brenda was a very unique individual and had a lifelong love of learning, returning to McMaster in her 40's to earn her BA. She was sensitive, beautiful, intelligent, funny and she could really throw a party. Keeping with Brenda's wishes cremation has taken place.
