As quoted from her nieces:
You were always the funniest person in the room, and quick with a joke or story that would have us all crying with laughter. You showed us all exactly what it meant to dance like nobody is watching, and when someone would ask you why you did something or about one of your thousand collectibles, you would simply reply with "because it brings me joy." This world needs so many more people like you in it. You taught us how to be proud of who we are and where we come from; to be ourselves, for which we will always be grateful. "We love you Aunt Bubby."
"Our lives are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance."

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, services will be private. She will be laid to rest at Oakland Cemetery, Meredith Center, between her father, John, and grandfather, Harry Nedeau, Sr.

The family asks that to honor Brenda's memory that you do a random act of kindness as she lived her life doing thousands of acts of kindness for those around her. She will be tremendously missed by all who knew her.
