Brenda Joy Thompson

She is survived by her devoted and loving husband, Robert Thompson, her children, Lisa (Kiley) Murphy, Jimmy (Jessica) Economy, Michael Thompson, Melanie Thompson; six grandchildren, Jordan and Hunter Murphy, Bennett and Porter Economy, Gavin Ingle and Ellie Mashburn; siblings Gary (Willie) Wiebe, Cheryl (Gary) Shelton, Darlene (Sheldon) Goodson, Tim (Rebekah) Wiebe, and her mother, Betty Wiebe.

Brenda was born August 17, 1955, in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. She has seen most of the world but found her home in Hermitage, Tennessee, where she enjoyed working as an incredibly talented real estate agent. She loved camping, traveling, crafting with her friends, kayaking, gardening, and playing with her grandkids. She loved playing cards, and was fiercely competitive, never turning down a game.

Beautiful inside and out, Brenda was a radiant light to everyone she encountered. She was the picture of strength, and leaves a legacy of elegance, perseverance, and grace. She loved the Lord with all her heart and poured that love out to those around her. She will be greatly missed and her spunk for life, giving heart, sense of humor, and compassion for others will live on in her family and friends.

Visitation will be Thursday, November 12, from 5:00-7:00pm, and Friday, November 13, from 10:00-11:00am at Hermitage Memorial Gardens. Funeral Service will be held Friday, November 13, at 11:00am, at Hermitage Memorial Gardens.
