She leaves behind an inspiring legacy of love and connection, reflected in the 16 grandchildren and several great-grandchildren who will carry her memory forward. She is also survived by her brother, Tony Nabar, and her sister, Bonnie Yohe, along with several nieces and nephews who were touched by her warmth and spirit.

In addition to her parents, Brenda was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Fayette Thomas. She was also preceded by her sister, Diane Franks, and her brother, Joseph Nabar, who, along with her, shaped the person she became and who will be dearly missed.
