Brenda was devoted to her family and was grateful each day for the blessing of having them in her life. She endeavored to be a source of love, help, and understanding to her family and friends. Brenda enjoyed laughing at life, dreaming of California, camping under the stars on the Glamis sand dunes, sailing the islands of the Caribbean, and simply spending time with those she loved. She especially treasured her days as "Mah" to her precious grandchildren. A native of Newton, NJ, Brenda lived the last 32 years in Germantown, TN, moving from Redlands, CA with her husband Arlyn, to continue his aviation career with FedEx Express.
She is now reunited with her parents and brother, Ernest Ladlee, Sr., Mildred Ladlee and Ernest Ladlee, Jr. who preceded her in death. She leaves behind her husband, Arlyn S. Mick, Sr., with whom she would have soon celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary, and her gang of sons and their families: Arlyn S. Mick, Jr. (Ray), Jason Z. Mick (Jennifer), Evan C. Mick (Katie), and Kevan A. Mick.
A service will be held to celebrate Brenda’s life on Sunday, June 19, 2022 (2:00pm) at Memphis Funeral Home (5599 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN 38119). The service will be casual in the spirit of how Brenda approached life, she would want to make gatherings comfortable and relaxed for everyone.
Our family would like to thank all our friends and family for their ongoing love and support. Brenda loved fiercely and with all her heart. We know how much your love for us means to her.
