Brenda Sue Wilson

Brenda Sue Wilson, age 78, was born on January 7, 1948, in Knoxville, Tennessee, and passed away peacefully on March 21, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love and devotion that touched all who knew her.

Brenda’s life was deeply rooted in her faith. She loved Jesus and was a devoted member of Shiloh Baptist Church for many years. Her relationship with the Lord guided her and gave her strength throughout her life. Besides her devotion to her faith, Brenda’s family was her world. She poured her heart into her loved ones, especially her grandchildren, who were the center of her universe. She found immense joy in watching them grow, supporting their sports, and encouraging their extracurricular activities with a proud and loving spirit. Her presence at their games and events was a constant source of comfort and happiness for all. Brenda also had a genuine love for the ocean and the beach. Her kindness, her fierce spirit, and her unwavering belief in the importance of family and faith will be deeply missed. Though she is no longer with us, her memory will live on in the lives of her family and in the many moments of joy and love she shared with them.

Brenda is survived by:

Children - Justin (Damaris) Wilson & Wendy (Mike) DeCant

Brothers - David (Beth) Alley, Mike (Tammy) Alley, and Tony (Kristie) Alley

Grandchildren - Brendan "Boo" Chandler, Bryson Mitchell Chandler, Briley Elise Chandler, Isabel Barrera, Josiah Wilson, and Alley Oceanna Wilson
