Brenda was kind and caring neighbour who I have had the pleasure to know throughout my entire life. She always had a friendly greeting and was very warm with children. I'm so sorry for your loss. She will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.

To the Welch family,
It was with great shock and sadness that I learned of the death of Brenda. I've known her a long time as a Guider and member of Trefoil Guild.
She was such a beautiful women, gentle, loved to chat with others, caring and so active in the community;
We shared a birthday and was always happy to send greetings to celebrate with each other.
She will be sadly missed.
With my sincerest sympathy,
Annette Wray

Brenda came into our lives almost 50 years ago. Laura and I had been dating for a few months and Jim showed up at a family dinner with the new lady in his life. It must be said that Jim’s dating pool encompassed mostly those that moved into the big house that he rented near the university.
We knew that she was a special person right away, firstly because she was so easy to get along with and secondly because she could hold her own in the many varied “discussions”that ensued at the dinner table. Laura and Brenda were definitely kindred spirits.
Laura and I married in June, 1977 and Brenda and Jim married the following March. It wasn’t long before they started their family and between the two families we had 7 kids in 8 years. It was alway a lot of fun and a little bit chaotic during our get togethers.
Brenda was always a compassionate and very supportive person. Her interests were varied and extensive. We always admired the fact that she seemed to make time for everything and everyone. She could always help when you had a problem with good solid advice and never seemed to judge anyone.
We moved to Saskatoon in 1984 and Jim and Brenda and the kids were one of the few family members who came to visit us, one time in December! The long distance definitely affected how often we could get together but it didn’t change how we felt about each other. When we travelled east in the summer she often arranged for the four of us to go see a play at Stratford often followed by a great dinner at one of the fine restaurants in that city. It was our chance to see Jim fall asleep in a theater.
With all the things that Brenda was involved in her greatest love was for her family, it was apparent every time we got together. She was very involved with all her children and her grandchildren and all the activities they were involved in.
We are devastated by her passing but know that her family will do their best to live their lives to the fullest as she would have wanted.
Mike and Laura Welch

I remember my bitter disappointment more than 50 years ago when my dad, Brenda's dad's brother, told me in no uncertain terms that I was NOT going to be going to University of Western Ontario, like my adored cousin, Brenda. And in many other situations since, I have looked on in abject admiration at so many things she seemed to have her finger in. I know that many things were not as easy come as she made them look but I never heard her complain, I loved listening for her cheerful chuckle at the funny side of things. The family reunions will not be the same, that's for sure! Posted with love, by Donna Lelievre, B.A.(York)! Donation tribute to Grand River Nature Centres

Heartfelt condolences to Jim and Brenda’s family members. We met at Western University in the late sixties and formed a bond like sisters. We grew up in such different communities, but that just seemed spur on our friendship. Our visits together waned as our families grew, but I have always regarded Brenda as a dearly special friend ,

I am truly saddened to hear that Brenda has passed away. When I last saw her in Halifax at our Tiffany Circle Event in the spring, she seemed so well and happy to be with her daughters and all the TC ladies. It was a pleasure to spend that time with her. She will be terribly missed by the Tiffany Circle Community. I hold fond memories and send my sincere condolences to your family.
