Brenda Jean Williams

Brenda was a high-spirited woman; a real spitfire. You never had to question what she was thinking. She was of the Seventh Day Adventist faith and loved the Lord. She loved flowers and tending to her garden, and ALL animals. She worked at Claiborne Textile for 10 years and made many friendships along the way. She was a hard worker all of her life, even on the farm after retirement. She had a heart of pure gold, taking every opportunity to help anyone that needed it. More than anything, she fiercely loved her family. She absolutely loved being a grandmother and would go toe-to-toe with anyone over her grandkids.

Brenda was preceded in death by her parents, James Robert Goan and Mary Lynn Green-Goan. Daughter, Jennifer Goan. Sister, Dianna Goan. Brother, Robbie Goan. Half-brother, Tony Goan.

Brenda is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, Darrell Williams. Son, Tim (Tammy) Goan. Sister, Nora (Boyd) Pendleton. Grandchildren, Khristin (Chris) Grosjean, Kaitlin (Ben) Collins, Kameron Goan and Kolton Goan. Great-grandchildren, Harper Goan, Slater Collins and Aiden Grosjean. Nephew, William Draven. Special sister-friends, Linda Martin and Becky Lawson.
