“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” II Timothy 4:7–8
Heavenly Father, we understand that your will must be done. We refuse to be ungrateful and selfish for all the joy that Brenda brought into our lives. As a family, we are thankful for the happiness we’ve known and forever grateful for Brenda’s 56 years on Earth. The life of Brenda Faye Walthour began in Brunswick, Georgia, on June 26, 1964, when God gave Edna M. Canada and Johnnie L. Walthour this unique bundle of joy. God created an amazing mother, daughter, sister, niece, and friend who left a memorable impression on each life that she touched. Brenda received her formal education at Glynn Academy High School in Brunswick, GA. Brenda accepted Christ as her Savior at an early age and was united with Gordon Street C.O.G.I.C., where she served as a faithful member. In her leisure, she enjoyed dancing, music, laughing, singing, and always a hearty meal. She adored her entire family to the fullest. She loved her children and grandchildren. God’s plans are not always our plans. When your angels came for her on April 15, 2021, at Southeast Georgia Health System, Brunswick, Georgia, after a brief illness, it was much sooner than we planned, but we’ll brave the grief that comes and try to understand.
She leaves to cherish her memory: one daughter, Monique N. Walthour, of Brunswick, GA; two sons, Torrey L. Dickens (Michelle), of Brunswick, GA and Renard L. Dickens of Jacksonville, FL; mother, Edna M. Canada; father, Johnnie L. Walthour (Edna); five sisters, Sandra F. Carroll (Todd), Linda G. Walthour, Thelma J. Hodges, Teresa A. Fleming and Ruby Irwin; one brother, Willie Irwin (Bonnie); ten grandchildren, Torrey Dickens, Jr., Shayna Brooks, Angelo Kirkland, Larenzo Kirkland, Travarious Dickens, Quavarious Dickens, Eddie Delegal, Kasha Ferguson, Marlon Carmena, and Baby Ava Hawkins (new to come); one great-grandson, Baby Boy (new to come); and a host of nieces, nephews, other family, and friends.
Due to the current state of (COVID-19) pandemic and in order to promote social distancing, as ordered by the Governor for the State of Georgia, anyone entering the funeral home for viewing; as well as attending all graveside services must wear a mask. We will also limit the number of persons allowed to enter the funeral home at any given period during the viewing process. We ask that you leave the premise upon exiting the building. The family is most appreciative to each of you for your prayers and considerations during this difficult time in their lives
