Wonderful mother to her son, Christopher and daughter, Carolyn Fairweather (John). She treasured her role as Grandmother to Scott and “Nana” to Nicholas, Andrew and Carter. She is survived by her parents, Myrtle Richmond and Bill Thompson (Pam). Dearly missed by her brothers Bill (Roz) and David, niece Janine (Vince), nephew Bryan (Dannie) extended family and special friends. Predeceased by her devoted husband and best friend of 43 years, Scott.
Brenda was immensely proud of her family. She enjoyed sharing many memories with friends over a cup of tea. At her request, an intimate gathering to celebrate her legacy will be held at a later date. The family encourages memories to be ongoing, in moments of grace, hope, laughter, vulnerability, strength, compassion, acceptance, gratitude, community, forgiveness, joy, healing and inspirations. Notwithstanding her death, let love and kindness remain. Donations to the “Canadian Mental Health Association” or charity of your choice would be appreciated.
