Brenda Hensley Fox

25, 2021 in Fairfax, Virginia with her loving husband, Chuck, by her side.

Brenda was born on August 2, 1955 in Culpeper County, Virginia to Goldie S. Hensley

and the late Thomas S. Hensley, Sr. Brenda worked for over 30 years at the Virginia

Department of Transportation (VDOT), as did Chuck, and they drove to work together

each and every day.

Brenda loved her family, animals of all kinds, farming and gardening, art and beauty,

and the joys of retirement. Most of all, she loved her husband, son, daughter-in-law,

and grandchildren and spoiled them with her amazing homecooked foods and gifts. She

was a loving wife, daughter, sister, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, cousin

and friend to all who knew her. She was a great listener, woman of faith, prayer

warrior, and she loved all God’s creatures great and small.

Brenda was married for 43 years to her husband and best friend Charles

Edward Fox, Jr. They met early in their respective careers at VDOT, and they were

constant companions and friends for over four decades.

Mrs. Fox is survived by her mother, Goldie S. Hensley of Boston, Virginia; her husband,

Charles E. Fox, Jr. (Chuck) of Culpeper, Virginia; her son, Robert A. Fox, of Suwanee,

Georgia, and his wife, Christa Fox, her grandchildren, Ashten Fox and Bryson Fox; her

brother Thomas S. Hensley, Jr. of Boston, Virginia, and his wife, Susan Hensley; her niece

Suzie Butler and her husband, Tad Butler, of Chesapeake, Virginia and their daughter

Stephens City, Virginia; and her sisters-in-law, Shirley Coffee and her husband, Steve;

Debbie Ashbrook and her husband, Wayne, and Susan Feaganes and her husband,

Kenny.

Psalm 27

The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of

my life—of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who

will stumble and fall.

Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me,

even then I will be confident.

One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of

the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in

his temple.
