In loving memory of Brenda, who sadly passed away on 23rd June 2025. Brenda had a relatively long life, but the last few years, as most of you will know, she battled with chronic lung disease, which she finally succumbed to. Brenda was a true character, salt of the earth type, who held her small, close family at the front and centre of her world. She will be very much missed. Rest in peace dearest Mum to Karen and John, Nan to Sam and Laura, Grandma to Freya and Amelie and Auntie to Valerie, David, Lynn, Kevin & Mark.
Immediate family flowers only are requested, donations in lieu can be made via this page or on the day of the funeral, to our chosen charity.

A celebration of Brenda’s long life is to be held afterwards at Rochford Hundred Golf Club, Hall Road, Rochford SS4 1NW where everyone is very welcome to attend.

Traditional funeral attire is requested.

You gave me life, I was with you till the end of yours, along life’s journey, we held hands, we laughed, we cried, we did everything a mother and daughter could do, should do and more. We argued, we made up, we shared secrets, only we could share. You were the best and I will always love you Mum XXX Karen

Brenda had many life stories to share but without fail always told us how much her family meant to her. There will be an empty chair at the family table and she will be missed but her humour and personality will never leave.
Missing you already you cheeky rascal xx
