It is with great sadness we announce the loss of Brenda Marie Jane Landry, who died Wednesday, February 5, 2020 in her home at the age of 59.
Brenda was born on October 8, 1960 in St. Stephen to Laurie and Alfreda (Belliveau) Landry. She spent her childhood, growing up in Chamcook, NB with her four sisters: Rhona, Lorraine, Donna (her twin) and Susan.
She graduated from St. Stephen High School and spent subsequent years living in both St. Andrews and St. Stephen and working at different shops and local businesses. She had a heart for buying local and supporting the communities in which she lived and encouraged others to do the same.
She had the opportunity to live for a few years in Sackville, Nova Scotia, caring for children as their nanny. She eventually returned to the area where she was born but took the chance to travel when she could; making trips to visit her twin in British Columbia and taking a mission tour to Africa in 2007.
Brenda rediscovered a passion for crocheting in the past few years, lovingly crafting projects for family and friends and selling her wares at local markets during the tourist season. She was creative and talented in many ways, including drawing and writing. She also enjoyed reading and word puzzles, watching comedies and caring for her cats. She was well known for her great sense of humour, her warm engulfing hugs and the kindness and compassion she showed to those around her. She was sensitive to the needs of others and shared the love of Jesus through her actions and giving nature.
Brenda was predeceased by her mother and father Alfreda and Laurie Landry and twin sister Donna Ledward. She was survived by sisters: Rhona (Paul) Harmon, Lorraine (Donald) MacDonald and Susan Landry. She had several nieces and nephews: Kim, Chris (Kate), Rita, Amy (Tim), John Paul (Katie), Jonathan (Kaitlin), Joel (Claire), Bethany, Jake, Jonathan and Jasmine, as well as many great nieces and nephews and cousins.
Family and friends are invited to a celebration of Brenda's life at the St Croix Vineyard Church, 32 Victoria Street, St Stephen, NB. on Saturday, February 22 at 2 PM.
For those who wish, donations in Brenda's memroy may be made to the Diabetes Association.
