Brenda was born on April 1st, 1957, in Edmonton, AB and spent her life spreading kindness and compassion. Her warmth and caring nature made everyone feel welcomed and loved in her presence. Whether it was a listening ear, a comforting embrace, or a home-cooked meal, Brenda’s capacity for giving knew no bounds.
Brenda’s love for life was evident in everything she did. Her passions range from gardening to cooking, and she found joy in the simplest of pleasures. Her laughter was infectious, and her lighthearted spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Brenda was predeceased by her parents, Donald and Anne Henson, and siblings Crystal-Anne and Gordon.
Brenda’s legacy of love and compassion will continue to inspire all those who had the privilege of knowing her. Her memory will forever remain in our hearts, and we will carry her light with us as we move forward.
Brenda Henson’s life was a testament to the power of love, and her absence leaves a void that can never be filled. May her soul rest in eternal peace, and may her memory continue to be a source of comfort and joy to all who knew her.
A celebration of life will be held June 1st, 2024, at 1:00 pm at Caslan Community Centre for anyone who wishes to attend.
Goodbye Mom – by Aneela Ahmed
Seeing you draped in white
My heart breaks, hope out of sight.
Mom, you left too soon
I hadn’t loved you enough.
Our relationship was never ideal
Our journey was very tough.
My love for you hasn’t died
So, I will not entomb its heart.
I’ll let it manifest in things
Let this be a new start.
As you leave today
Let me cry, let me say
My mom was my hero.
Leading me to right
Forgiving and loving
A star so bright.
So, I lose today
My support, my light.
My dear Mom.
Making my life bright.
Losing my mom, I lost myself today
In darkness so deep
I try to find light, just a ray
Just enough to hold on
Hold on to life.
The final goodbye said
They bury her – before my eyes.
