We remember Brenda as an energetic, enthusiastic, warm-hearted and compassionate cousin. She was an avid reader and a well-rounded person of various subjects. Her focus on her studies in high school led her to further her education and have a successful career. We will deeply miss her smile down here but we have faith that she is smiling with the angels in heavens. We pray her family will find peace and comfort in knowing God had a plan for her life and she will continue being a blessing to the lives she touched. Love from; Eugene Cuthbert and family, Harold Cuthbert and family, Herbert Cuthbert and family, Lillie Cuthbert Newsome and family, and Willie Cuthbert.

Brenda is “one of a kind”. We had lost touch with one another over the past years. I thought of her a few weeks ago while looking at some of my artwork. While we were working together, we became great friends and both of us started collecting art. Some of the same Charles Bibbs’ pieces! I will forever cherish the memories of the times we spent together - talking, laughing, eating, working, and crying. One of the most genuine and giving hearts of anyone I know. To David and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers and may God give you comfort. Rest In Peace, Brenda.

David and family - We are so sorry for your loss. We have very fond memories of the both of you, and so enjoyed talking over the fence so often. A few of my favorite memories, were the one time when Brenda’s brother was doing some yard work for you in the front, and Joe told Brenda something like “are you putting down yard clue to keep the stones down”...Joe of course was only kidding, but it gave us both a chuckle. Another memory was one of our visits in your backyard and I had brought Ginger over. She loved water, and you had a large water bowl for Chelsea, and Ginger tried to get in the bowl to lay down like it was a pool just for her, haha. We had some great memories, and I have so many lovely Longaberger baskets that I think of her when I use. Please know you are in our thoughts, and we play that God gives you comfort and healing at this time. Love, Sandy, Joe, Matthew and Austin Robillard

Soror McCaskill was one of the first Sorors of the chapter who greeted me and embraced me when I first visited and later joined the Cincinnati Queen City Alumnae Chapter when I relocted to the Midwest. She immediately engaged me and gently nudged me to become quite active in the chapter and I will never forget her enouragement and support. My sincerest condolensces to David and her entire family. She is a genuine jewel in God's treasure chest and will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Soror Deborah Ingram Newark, DE

I will never forget your thirst for more education. We both knew we would go away to college to start our careers. It was fun trying to figure it all out at the ages of 16 and 17. You will be missed, my friend. I never had a sister until I met you. My heartfelt sympathy to David and the Family for your loss. Dr. Carol Jenkins Neil

Brenda was the best sister-in-law anyone could have. She had exquisite taste in art, fashion, and design, and was a phenomenal conversationalist: she was comfortable talking sports, politics, movies, and current events. As fellow animal lovers, it always was a pleasure to talk about how our pets acted as if they own us, instead of the other way around. And she loved to laugh! She is laughing in heaven now because I am fixing the typos in my previous post after a long workday and resending my post :-). She was much more careful and deliberate than I will ever be! I will miss her.

Brenda always had a smile. She was so caring and wanted to catch up on what was going on with our family. She called us her snow angels and I know she is now our angel looking over us from Heaven. Rest In Peace Brenda and enjoy God’s love in His Holy Kingdom.
