Ms. Brenda M. Clark, a daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend passed away peacefully on September 26, 2024. Brenda was preceded in death by her father, Mr. William R. Clark; grandparents; Mr. & Mrs. James H. Clark, Sr., Mr. Wilmer L. Brown, Sr., and Ms. Caroline Hall.
Brenda was born in Kingsport, Tennessee to William and Constance Clark and graduated from Dobyns-Bennett High School. She worked as a bank teller for several years as well as a secretary for many years before being put on disability.
Brenda was a sassy ball of fire from a very young age. She was a very giving, independent, vivacious woman with a heart of gold. There was NOTHING in this world that she would not have done for Kayla who was her partner in crime or for William who was her entire world.
Brenda will be deeply missed by her beloved daughter, Kayla L. Clark (Corey T. Harless), Church Hill, TN; her beloved grandson, William R.C. Harless, Church Hill, TN; her mother, Constance G. Clark, Kingsport, TN; her brother, Carl G. (Janie) Cornett; Kingsport, TN; her sisters, Sonya L. Clark; Church Hill, TN, and Carmen R. Clark; Gray, TN; her niece, Paris R. Cornett, Atlanta, GA; two aunts Frances L. Graves, Kingsport, TN and Ethel Wilson, Philadelphia, PA; three uncles, Thomas A. (Teresa) Brown, Bristol, TN, Charles T. Smith, Charlotte, NC; and George Hall, Philadelphia, PA as well as her Godmother, Jessie M. Dennis, Kingsport, TN.
Brenda also leaves behind a host of cousins (most who were like siblings) and friends.
The visitation will be held at the Central Baptist Church, 301 Carver Street, Kingsport on Saturday, October 5, 2024 from 12 Noon to 1 PM. The Celebration of Life will be held right after from 1 PM to 2 PM at the church.
“Missing you isn’t the problem…It’s knowing that you’re never coming back that causes so much pain.”
