Remembering Brenda Carolyn Brown Fleming: A Journey of Love and Faith
Chattanooga – With heavy hearts, we gather to celebrate the life of Brenda Carolyn Brown Fleming, who left this world at the age of 74 on October 22, 2024, surrounded by her beloved family. Born on November 6, 1949, in the quaint town of Andersonville, Tennessee, Brenda was a cherished daughter of Luther and Genevive Brown. Her life was one filled with faith, love, and the comforting hugs that came at every family gathering.
A Life Rooted in Faith
Brenda’s journey of faith began when she professed her love for Christ at the tender age of 18. This faith remained the cornerstone of her life, guiding her through countless joys and challenges. As a dedicated member of Christ United Methodist Church in Chattanooga, Brenda embraced her faith wholeheartedly, becoming a beloved figure within her church community.
The Heart of the Family
Known for her affectionate spirit, Brenda possessed a rare gift for bringing her family together. She found joy in cooking, and her delicious meals were the highlight of many family gatherings. “When nanna was cooking, we all showed up,” recalled her daughters, Karen, Susanne, and Layla, who fondly remember the warmth of their childhood home filled with laughter and delightful aromas.
A loving wife to her husband Michael “Mike” Fleming for an incredible 58 years, Brenda’s love extended beyond just her immediate family. She is survived by her three daughters, her grandchildren – Zachary, Hannah, Evan, and Christian – and her great-grandchildren, Jayden, Wyatt, and Noah. Brenda’s spirit will be sorely missed by her many siblings, including sisters Shirley, Linda, Diane, Joyce, and Connie, alongside brothers Jim, Bobby Lynn, David, and Wesley, and numerous nieces and nephews who cherished her kindness.
A Sad Farewell
Brenda’s gentle and sweet spirit will leave a void in the lives of all who were lucky enough to know her. Preceded in death by her parents, sister Sue Branam, and brother Chuck Brown, she leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and family devotion that will be remembered fondly.
The family extends their deepest gratitude to the health hospice team for their exceptional care during her final days. Their support and compassion meant the world to Brenda and her loved ones.
