There are no words to describe Brenda, I could phone her anytime and talk for quite a long on the phone. I told her things I never told anyone. We both enjoyed going out for lunch for our birthdays. I would treat her and she would treat me we had a lot of laughs about that . I was so shocked to hear of her passing we were supposed to go out that Monday for lunch. She spoke so often about her nieces really loved them and kept in touch with them I’m sure you will all miss her .Our condolences to all the family, especially Dell love of her life. Rest in peace Bren I will think of u often especially on our birthdays . - Posted by: John and Mary Ridge (My best friend for 54yrs our maid of honour and my lunch buddy.) on: May 16, 2026

My sincere condolences to Brenda’s family. I knew Brenda for over 40 years. We were colleagues at VIA Rail and continued our friendship for years. Brenda would arrange the VIA girl get together starting with Christmas at her place every year. She will be missed but remembered. - Posted by: Donna Cameron (Friend) on: May 16, 2026

To Del and family, Brenda was a fun and loving person with a raspy laugh in which in the days of Via Rail we shared in a lot of fun and games. We had kept in touch over the decades and I was glad of that. Brenda genuinely sounded happy as ever and that as a caring friend is all that mattereted. My sincerest condolences to all who knew this dear person. Jill Palmer (McWhinney) - Posted by: Jill Palmer (McWhinney) (Friend from Via Rail Canada) on: May 16, 2026
