Brenda Ann (Logan) Carroll, age 51, of Northport, passed away Jan. 6, 2011. Services will be 2 p.m. Monday at Memory Chapel Funeral Home with Brandon Pinion and Raymond Robertson officiating. Burial will follow at Memory Hills Gardens with Memory Chapel Funeral Home, a Dignity Memorial Provider, directing. Visitation will be one hour prior to services at the funeral home.

Born on Jan. 12, 1959, she was preceded in death by her father, Marion J. Logan.

Survivors include her mother, Mattie Marie Hedrick; a brother, William Gary Logan; a sister, Melinda (Logan) Hood; two children, Daniel Wayne Carroll and Angela Marie (Carroll) Johnson; four grandchildren, Preston Daniel Carroll, Nathan Edward Carroll, Joshua Hayden Johnson, and Kimber Maylynn Johnson; a niece, Samantha Elisa Logan; and a nephew, Mark Anthony Hood.

Faithful caretaker for her mother for several years, Brenda will be sorely missed. One of her great passions was Alabama football, and she shared many televised games with her mother over the years. Another gift she had was for singing. During the 80's she often enjoyed singing solos at Rosedale Baptist Church.

Brenda simply had a servant's heart. She adored her children and grandchildren and loved every animal she ever met. Everyone who met Brenda loved her.

The family has lovingly bestowed upon Brenda the degree of Master of Divinity—the candy kind. She shared her expertise with other family members and often gave trays of divinity to neighbors and friends.
