She graduated from St. Paul’s on August 6, 1972 and started her career at St. Mary’s Hospital in Sechelt. In 1974, Brenda and Tony moved to Princeton where Tony had accepted a position with Northwood Mills. After a brief move to Kamloops they returned to Princeton where Brenda carried on her career as a registered nurse at Princeton General Hospital. After her retirement in June 2010, she and Tony moved back to the Sunshine Coast to enjoy their retirement years close to family.
Brenda will be deeply missed by her extended family and many friends throughout the province and abroad.
