Brenda P. Loye, age 65, passed away unexpectedly at home on Monday, October 24, 2022. She was a lifelong resident of Guilford County, NC, born on April 11, 1957. She was a sweet soul, so humble and full of love, caring and kindness, helping everyone she knew, a good listener, so easy to talk to. She will be deeply missed.
