My deepest condolences to you Real and all the family, Brenda was a Gem, I will miss our little chats.. Rest in peace beautiful lady. <3

Deepest sympathies to Real, Joanne, Jeffrey and families. Her twinkling blue eyes were always filled with kindness and joy from my memories. Peace to you all.

My deepest condolences my thoughts and prayers to your family

I knew of Brenda briefly while attending JT, a year behind Brenda but I was fortunate enough to cross paths again ain her admin asst roles at Hedges and JT as a parent. She was the most lovely lady ever, always there to lend a hand. Rest in peace sweet Brenda.

In memory of a wonderful friend, who was also a loving mom and grandma. You gave so much love and care to everyone around you, and we’ll always carry your spirit with us. You’ll be missed, but never forgotten.

Sincere condolences to the Bergeron Family in your loss. Brenda and Real have been our wonderful neighbours since we bought Mike’s childhood home over 20 years ago. Brenda was always cheerful and neighbourly, with a genuine warmth and sincerity. Brenda and Real raised a wonderful family with Grandchildren that they loved. You will be missed. Our prayers go out to the Bergeron family.

I became Brenda's hairdresser back in 2010 I believe. Incredibly grateful for the friendship that grew over the years. Always so warm, kind and supportive. I always looked forward to her appointments and the opportunity to chat and catch up. Truly going to miss those moments with her. My love and prayers to her entire family who she loved beyond measure. The love she had for you all was very evident in the moments she shared with me.

Deepest Condolences Real, to you and your family. Thining of you all during this hard time. It was lovely to meet Brenda during Christmas parties at Gescan.

Brenda's recent passing was a shock to say the least. She was such a fighter during her battles with cancer. I worked for many years with Brenda at Safeway. She was always calm, happy and ready to work her shifts. After leaving Safeway I would bump into her and always enjoyed the friendly conversations. Sending my sympathies to her entire family.

So sorry to hear the sad news of Brenda's passing. May all the wonderful memories that you have of Brenda be a consolation for all the family during this time of grief.

I offer my condolences for the loss of Brenda to Réal and the whole Bergeron/Gair families. On behalf of my Rita Bergeron and Léon Fontaine siblings I will be attending the celebration of life thursday and share the grief and loss that Réal and family are enduring.

It was pleasant to meet Brenda and Réal at Uncle Guy Bergeron's memorial gathering of Fontaines this summer.

As a first cousin with Réal, our family has been close to all our Bergeron relatives in various ways. As family geneologist I invite you to visit our family webpage to find out more about Réal's relatives.

Our deepest condolences to Brenda's family. This news was so very sad to hear.😢

I first met Brenda when we worked together at Safeway. We had many fun times together at work and Christmas parties and events for the kids!! Brenda was a loyal Safeway customer. I would often bump into her at Safeway many years after she stopped working there and it was always great to chat with her!!

I also remember a few good laughs that we shared while she was working at JT. When my youngest son Cole started school at JT I was so surprised the first time I ran into her. I immediately felt more comfortable for Cole because she was there!! Cole was in the special program and in a wheelchair. Quite often I would get an automated message from the school saying that Cole was absent from a certain class.. I would call the school back and ask for Brenda if she didn't answer the phone and I would tell her about the call and ask her, 'well where do you think he could be'? She would laugh and say some funny remark, like I guess he's skipping?! Then I would say well you better tell his EA that I didn't give either of them permission to miss class !! We had many chuckles!! 🤭

Brenda was a good person down to her core!! I hope that her family will find great comfort in the days and years ahead with the wonderful memories that they share!!

Hugs to you all !!😢💞💛

Sorry to hear of your loss Real.

our prayers go out to you and your family.

Brenda and I met when the Gair family moved to Doran Bay. We were both 10 years old. That was 57 years ago. I spent so much time at the Gair home that it became a 2nd home to me. Brenda's mom always made me feel welcome and like I was part of the family. We always celebrated our birthdays together...Brenda was May 13th and I was May 18th. Many times we would climb into Brenda's car and head to the A&W drive inn on Portage Ave. I always looked forward to our breakfast dates and will miss them terribly.. Thank you for all the years of friendship. Love Debbie

Brenda was one of my cousins I grew up with. Activities and family gatherings were always on the agenda. Not only did Brenda help teach me to drive, but I was a bridesmaid in her wedding and we also worked together at Safeway. We will all miss her kind soul and grateful for all our years of fun times. We know her spirit will keep joining us at our cousin’s lunches.

My condolences to all of you. I've known Brenda since we were kids. It didn't matter if she was working at Safeway on Ness or at John Taylor Collegiate, she always had her wonderful smile and her caring voice to greet you. She will be missed by all who knew her.

I will always remember the great times we all had together camping, beaches, and backyard parties. The dinners together for the holidays and special occasions were such fun with everyone. I enjoyed our monthly phone conversations for many years, so much laughing. Will miss you so very much.

Love Aunty Pat

Our heart breaks for you all, our prayers and thoughts are with you. Our Sympathies to all the families. ❤🙏

My heartfelt condolences to the family.. Brenda was such a memorable part of my younger years, as my early school years' secretary. I had the pleasure of having her apart of my life for quite a number of years and she was always putting others first and loved everyone so deeply. Family get togethers will always remain a core memory of mine. She will be dearly missed.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Brenda's passing. Seems like only yesterday when I spent a large part of my childhood over at the Gair's house on Doran Bay. Some of my strongest memories were the trips to A&W drive in in Brenda's Rambler station wagon, litters of puppies and kittens, sleepovers and trips to the cabin, as well as Brenda's love of Lighthouse and Donny Osmond.

We are so sorry for your loss, too soon. May these memories and so many more give your family comfort.

Our deepest condolences to the family. Brenda's kindness and warmth touched our lives in many ways. She was always caring, watching out for our kids at school and welcoming us all at various family events. I was especially grateful for her kindness and understanding during my own cancer journey. She will be remembered with love. A donation to Cancer Care has been made in her memory.

So sorry for your loss to all her family.

Some of the time spent with cousins was at one cabin or another. While playing Hide and go Seek and using a towel on a clothes line, Brenda came from one direction, I came from the other direction and got knocked on the ground resulting in a fractured elbow. I always said Brenda broke my arm but really it was the rock I landed on that did the damage.

My lovely, kind and beautiful niece will be missed by every one. There will never be another one as good as her.

With all my love,

Auntie Margaret
