In Loving Memory
Brenda Ryals
December 24, 1951 - February 9, 2026
What a wonderful woman , truly has seen the world and would share so many stories of her travels. She made friends anywhere she went and I was glad she referred to me as one of them .
My Mom was a beautiful woman. I miss her dearly. She was my everything. I’m so grateful that I was able to spend time with her all the way to the end of her life. Mom, I love you forever and always.
Brenda was so uniquely kind. I only met her once during a New Year’s Eve event at Fairhope, Alabama. Even though it was one time, she made such a lasting impact on my friend and me.
She spotted us outside a bar and quickly introduced herself as Brenda from Baltimore. She bonded with us over our high top converse and sat with us for hours, treating us with so much love and kindness, as if we had known each other for years. She shared so many stories of her traveling the world, talked about her mother and her kids, and gave us so much good advice about life.
After the event, when we went home, we would so often reminisce about Brenda from Baltimore and wonder what she was up to these days. Sadly, we checked today and found her obituary.
She was so quick to love, be kind, and she was so unapologetically herself. May she rest in peace.
