Suddenly, after a short stay at Springhill Nursing Home, Accrington on the 6th December, 2021 Brenda, aged 87 years of Haydock, St.Helens.  The devoted wife of the late Norman, loving mother of Gary, mother-in-law of Gill, cherished gran of Kevin and David and great gran of six and a loved auntie of Lynne & Debbie and Terry & Colin (Australia). Also a dear sister of the late Doreen and a respected relative and friend to many.

Brenda spent her working life in the St.Helens area in various social care /catering roles and retired from Fairfield Private Hospital where she spent many happy years and made many good friends. An avid rugby fan, Brenda, in her early years liked nothing more than standing on the terraces at Knowsley Road shouting for her beloved St.Helens. Although in later life she was unable to make it to the ground, it didn’t stop her shouting her support when watching them on TV.  Holidays were always a favourite time of the year for Brenda and together with her husband Norman, they shared many wonderful trips to “The English Riviera” and particularly enjoyed holidays with the family in Florida. Brenda was a doting gran to her grandsons and great grandchildren and always looked forward to spending time with them.

We were always a very close family living ‘back- to back’ with each other. Auntie Bren made all my leading up dresses and patiently detangled my curly hair. I will remember her as my cheeky, fun-loving Auntie. I will miss our long chats. RIP with Uncle Norman and Doreen xx

Auntie Bren will be missed for her fun. Rest in peace now xxx

Good night “Auntie “Bren and thank you for all the Happy times, with love from Gill, friend of Debbie xxx
