Brenda Smith Obituary
Brenda Kay Smith passed away on May 28, 2024, at the age of 61 in Land O' Lakes, FL. Born on June 29, 1962, in Plant City, FL, Brenda's life was a testament to the power of kindness and dedication.
Brenda's heart was her compass, guiding her through a life of service at Joe Newsome's Pharmacy, Bealls, and Verizon. She also enjoyed her work as a secretary and a custodian in public schools, where she not only took pride in her work but also in the countless relationships she built. Her caring nature extended beyond her profession, touching the lives of all who knew her.
She is survived by her loving mother, Janet Vickers; ex husband, David Smith; her cherished children, Joshua D. Smith and Kendall (Clayton) Dowd; her dear brothers, Richard, David, and Scott Vickers; and her adored grandchildren, Waylon Edward Smith, Cole Dean Dowd, and Chance Wade Dowd. Brenda was preceded in passing by her father, Billy Vickers, whose memory remained a guiding light in her life.
Brenda's love for her dog Walter, her grandchildren, and her talent for sewing filled her days with joy and purpose as a premier fabric craftswoman. As Helen Keller once said, "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart." Brenda embodied this sentiment, leaving behind a legacy of love and gentle kindness that will be felt forever in the hearts of those she touched.
