BRENDA LYNN ANDREWS (KULLMAN) February 18, 1950 - January 20, 2013 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our wife and mom, after a lengthy and courageous struggle, at the age of 62. Brenda is predeceased by her parents Edward and Dolores Kullman; twin sister Linda, Maureen and brother Jim. Mom is survived by her devoted husband of 42 years, Bill; daughter Wendy (Mike); son James (Janice); grandson Ty; lifetime friend Sharon, as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Mom was born on February 18, 1950 in Rhode Island, New York. Her happiest times were those spent with her family. She went above and beyond for us in every way, always letting us know she cared. Mom was known for her giving nature, her kindness, her sense of humour and most of all her loyalty to her family. Mom's biggest passions were her love of gardening, cooking and all things Christmas. She spent countless hours in her beloved yard and always said she was happiest when her hands were in the dirt. Mom was known for her incredible Christmas baking which usually started in October, sending dad to deliver many taste tests to us kids. The greatest joy in her life was her grandson Ty. They shared a very special bond and she never hesitated to let him know how much he was loved by his Nan and how very proud she was of the young man he has become. Mom, we thank you for everything you did for us and your love. We will miss you every moment of every day and will never forget you. You can only have one mother, patient, kind and true. No other friend in all the world, would be so true to you. For all her loving kindness, she asked nothing in return, if all the world deserted us, to mother we would turn. To those who have a mother, treasure her with care. For you will never miss her till you know that she's not there. The family would like to thank the staff at the Selkirk Hospital for all the special care and dignity shown to mom and to Ronda for the little extras. At her request, mom will be laid to rest at Sunnyside Cemetery with immediate family. In lieu of flowers and a service, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of one's choice. We love you mom. Rest in peace. Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk in care of arrangements. www.gilbartfuneralhome.com

  • Dear Bill and family, My heart is deeply saddened that Brenda has passed away and that she was ill for so long. Our memories go back many years to times when we babysat Brenda. I am her cousin but she always called me Auntie and she always held a special place in my heart. Though time and circumstance made us lose contact with each other, when we did see each other at a shower, wedding, etc we were always happy to get a hug and reminisce a bit and I always looked forward to those times. I know she will be sorely missed by everyone and especially you, her muched loved family. She always talked about you all and how much you meant to her when we did have a conversation. I know she will always be with you through happy memories she left you with. I know I am blessed to have many happy memories of Brenda and will never forget her. SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO ALL OF YOU. - Posted by: Elinore and Doug Loos (cousin) on: Jan 29, 2013

  • I am saddened to her the passing of Aunty Brenda. She was always that funny aunty that not only made you laugh, but always had a compliment to make you feel really good about yourself. Her gardening expertise was second to none. I remember back to my childhood years where I was bragging about how big my pumpkins were and how I saved the seeds from the big one each year trying to get the “big” genes to prevail. She asked for a few seeds and later showed me pictures of the pumpkins she grew from my seeds and I was a bit jealous…they were much bigger than my own. My heart goes out to Uncle Bill and the entire Andrews family. It was always special to share time with Aunty Brenda. I can only guess how great of a wife/mother/grandmother she was. May your memories of her live on forever. - Posted by: Steve Kullman (nephew) on: Jan 24, 2013

  • Thinking back we have known "Bilko & Brenda" for over 30 years. We remember Brenda as a friendly and outgoing person. Always taking the time to chat if we would run into each other either in Selkirk or at the Christmas Concerts at the school in East Selkirk where our grandchildren attended together. We wish we could have been there for you during Brenda's illness, had we known. Our hearts go out to you Bill and your family in your loss. Cherish the great memories of time spent together. Brenda was blessed to have a man like you for a husband. Love:Glenn & Yvonne Plant of Lockport, Man. - Posted by: Glenn & Yvonne Plant (Friends) on: Jan 23, 2013
