Brenda Marshall, age 71 of Kingsport, was taken up into the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, during the morning hours of Sunday, April 15, 2018. Brenda was born on July 8, 1946 in Kingsport, TN to James and Genola Bellamy.
Brenda worked as a nurse for many years before retiring from Holston Medical Group. She enjoyed many things in her life; however, her most cherished moments in her life were watching her grandchildren play sports. She was their biggest fan and she could always be seen cheering them on. Brenda was active in her community and she volunteered in the gift shop at Indian Path Medical Center. Brenda’s smile and amazing personality will be missed by all those who knew her.
