Brenda Louise Hollifield, more commonly known as Nana and Uizee, unexpectedly left this world at the age of 57, on July 28, 2023. She was the epitome of a caretaker and will be missed by those left behind. She was patient and caring, she was happy to pick up anything you needed, even if it was a Blizzard late at night, and she was the best listener.
Brenda is proceeded in death by her parents, Walter and Dorothy Mayne, in laws AC and Bernice Hollifield. She is survived by husband, Allan Hollifield, daughter Heather and son in law Aaron Craft, grandsons Caden and Colton, siblings Gary, Vicki and Steve Mayne, brother and sister in laws, nieces, great nieces, great nephew and countless friends and co-workers.
Brenda graduated from Crockett High School in 1985 and went on to work in retail where she met some of her closest friends. She previously worked at Furrows Lumber and Pharmor where she met her lifelong friend Darlene Driskell and has been employed by Academy for the last 27 years where she was a loyal and hard-working leader.
Her dogs and her boys were the joy of her life. Some of her favorite simple pleasures were coffee, chocolate covered strawberries, guacamole, tuna casserole and having her nails done. It’s not possible to think of any of those things and not think of her.
Brenda loved her family fiercely; she loved planning the many celebrations. She especially loved the holidays with her best friend and mother-in-law Bernice. She was proud of Heather and never missed any of her dance competitions or half-time performances. She was so proud of her grandsons and enjoyed attending all of their many events. The empty seat in the stands won’t go unnoticed.
A visitation for Brenda will be held Tuesday, August 8, 2023 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
at Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Funeral Home in Pflugerville. The funeral service will be held on Wednesday, August 9, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. in the funeral home chapel. She will be laid to rest at Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Cemetery.
