1948 - 2011

Brenda Irene Rose of Kamloops, BC passed away peacefully on January 22, 2011 with her daughters by her side.

Brenda will be fondly remembered by her children Jonathan (Josee) of Moncton, NB, Reana of Calgary, AB, Terri (Dale) of Kamloops, BC, and especially by her grandson Daylen, as well as by her brothers and sisters; Steven (Lois) Budd, Ellen (Garnet) Price, Elizabeth (Murray) Dawson and Phillip (Violet) Budd.
She was predeceased by her mother and father, Irene and Cleveland Budd, her sisters Cathy Quinlan, Iona Beers, Shirley Pitre and Christine Crossman as well as her baby brother Robert Budd.

Born in Moncton, NB, on May 23, 1948, Brenda was a jack of all trades, always giving her all to whatever task was at hand. Her dream of being a truck driver came true in 1986. Her CB handle was Gypsy and she was always a free spirit that loved being "on the road". For the past five years she made Kamloops her home where she was the "Bestest Nanny in the World" to her grandson Daylen. He will miss her terribly but will remember her love and guidance.

In his words "I love you more Nanny;
stick it, lock it, no erasies!"

Brenda, known as Auntie B by her nieces, nephews and many others was well loved. She will be remembered by her family and many friends as a strong, independent, loving woman who opened her heart and her home to any who needed her. She will be sadly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known her.

The family would like to extend special thanks to Dr. Howie, Dr. Gabriel, as well as to the loving staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in Kamloops.

In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Kamloops Hospice Association.
