Brenda Diane Patrick

Our beloved Brenda Diane  Flowers Patrick was born on March 14,1955, to the late A.D. Flowers and Alice Flowers. She was raised with strong values of faith, hard work, and compassion that guided her throughout her life.

Brenda was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and faithful friend. She was known for her strength, determination, and unwavering love for her family and community. Even through sickness and hardship, Brenda remained strong and resilient, showing everyone around her what perseverance truly looked like. Though she is no longer physically with us, her love, wisdom, and spirit will forever remain in our hearts.
