Brenda was born on September 20, 1957, in Sharon, PA to Robert and Barbara. She graduated from Sharpsville High School before receiving her Registered Nurse's license at Lutheran Medical Center. Brenda worked as a nurse at many different hospitals and healthcare facilities over the years, including Euclid General Hospital, Richmond Heights General Hospital, Mt. Sinai Hospital, Mount St. Joseph Rehab Center, Hospice of The Western Reserve, and Benjamin Rose Nursing Home. As a nurse, she was also a member of NSO. She met the love of her life, George, while taking shelter from the rain at the county fair's pizza stand. The two were happily married in June of 1977, and settled down in Richmond Heights, where they remained for 45 years. Brenda and George decided to grow their family and raised four wonderful children together. Brenda was deeply devoted both to her family as well as her Christian faith, she and her husband were parishioners at Hope United Church for 24 years. When she wasn't taking care of her patients and her family, Brenda enjoyed Knitting, Gardening, and Canning. Her and George got to vacation all around the United States, including Las Vegas, Hawaii, Florida, and Kansas City. What brought Brenda the most enjoyment in life though, was spending time with her grandchildren. She loved celebrating every holiday, but her favorite tradition was hosting Christmas every year to the sound of the 24 Hour 'A Christmas Story' marathon on TBS. Brenda was best described by those who knew her as a beautiful, lighthearted, loving, and selfless woman. Brenda returned home to heaven on December 4, 2025, leaving behind a legacy as the perfect wife, mother, and grandmother.
