So sad to have lost Auntie Brenda. She was with us all through our childhood into adults, right from birth in the 60's and 70's. She was Pat's (mum) best friend through all this time and lives on through some lovely memories of sunny summer days around Tebbuts Yard. We are thankful for some phone chats in January, sadly we didn't get to meet again. Unfortunately (my first) C-19 infection and mum's mobility prevents attendance at todays funeral, but you will all be in our hearts and minds. with much love Tim, Pat and Wendy xx

To my dear auntie Brenda to whom I will always have fond memories. "It seems only yesterday we all played badminton together" Rest in peace dear Auntie, forever in my heart. From your nephew David

Dear Brenda I will miss your happy smiling face. Always very helpful to me. xx

We will cherish our visits to Brenda over recent years. We enjoyed her company and humour, many interesting conversations about gardening, sport, families, recipes, quizzes etc., often followed by fish and chip suppers. Particularly memorable, a visit to Malvern Garden Show c2012, she really enjoyed that. A recent gift from her was a Garden Lantern which gives off a flickering glow, it will be a constant reminder of her. Love Brian and Pauline xx

I have lots of happy memories of you Brenda. Always kind to my girls. A thoughtful and caring person who I enjoyed visits with. You will be missed. Rest in peace now and forever. Susan x

I have so many happy memories of dear Brenda whom I first met back in 1999. She became very friendly with my wife Susan at Kettering Leisure village where we all played various sports. I also became a good friend of Ray (Brenda’s husband) through playing bowls although for quite some time didn’t connect them. About 3 years before Ray sadly died Brenda asked me to give her some table- tennis coaching, and then help her with her finances when Ray passed away, My wife died suddenly 7 years ago , and about 4 years ago Brenda asked me if I would go to the theatre with her. The rest as they say is history! Two Covid lockdowns have been a real nuisance , but nevertheless we have had 4 lovely years together,theatre , cinema, eating out a lot, and she cooking sometimes ( paella was her specialty). We became very close which we didn’t advertise so now I am missing her greatly and will always do so. She loved sitting in my garden, summer house or conservatory so that’s how I am going to remember her. R. I.P. You lovely lady. xxx . Carl.

Mum - I really don’t know what to say. I love you with all my heart. Thank you for being my Mum, Steve’s Mother-in-Law and Emma & Jack’s Nan - you are amazing and we hope that you are now at peace and resting as you deserve to be xxx 🥰 ❤️

My fondest memories of Brenda involve 2 things: food and the garden, be it afternoon tea at ours or dads in the garden discussing plants or on bonfire night at either garden , wrapped in a blanket in the garden with sausages in rolls. It has been a pleasure to know Brenda and the happiness she brought to my dad Carl, she will be much missed . Bridget

Brenda, I have very fond memories of you when we visited your place in Earls Barton, smiling and laughing and pretending to be shocked with what ever came out of my mouth next. I will miss you so very much, be at rest Brenda, God has you in his hands. A poem for Brenda: There are Aunts to look up to Aunts who are wise, Those who are good friends, those who advise, There are Aunts who are loveable, Aunts who are fun, And then there is you, Your all those in one. Love always, Wendy xxxxx
