Maiden:
Montgomery
Obit:
passed away peacefully at her home on
October 3, 2022 surrounded by loved ones and family. She was born
November 11, 1949 in Nashville, TN. She was a devoted mother,
grandmother, daughter, and sister. She is survived by her son,
Kristopher Sean Frey (Jenn), and stepdaughters Emily Frey Collins
(Barry) and Catharine Frey Simpkins along with 7 grandchildren: Kate
Frey, Molly Frey, Ryne Collins (Heather), Tyler Collins, Briley
Collins Holmes (Andrew), Carter Simpkins, and Clark Simpkins; plus 4
great grandchildren (Scarlett, Mack, Maddox and Collins). She is
survived by her mother, Bert Montgomery and sisters Linda Montgomery
Boisseau, Judy Diane Montgomery, and Vickie Montgomery (Jim Scott).
She is preceded in death by her father, George H. Montgomery
Brenda was an active baseball mom who spent many hours traveling and
supporting Sean’s love of sports. She rarely missed a Notre Dame
football game on TV, a love acquired from Sean’s college choice.
Brenda was a talented artist whose God-given talents were displayed
through her gardening, painting, decorating, and crafting. She loved
taking friends on a tour of her garden and yard as she pointed out
each plant variety and often offered her guests a cutting so they
could enjoy the flowers as much as she did. She was a proud and
active member of the Sumner County Master Gardeners Association for
over a decade including serving as co-chair of the major fundraising
arm with members painting and crafting for hours under her
direction.
Decorating for the holidays was an absolute favorite thing for
Brenda whether it was Christmas or Valentine’s Day, Easter or
Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day or Independence Day (and any other
holiday she could craft). She would enjoy the season with front door
decorations along with each room decorated to the top. She also
shared her talents through home paint-along classes for over 5 years
before COVID limited her social options. Many have a treasure which
was a Brenda creation or inspiration.
During her lengthy battle with cancer, Brenda had an amazing care
team at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Clinic. A special thank you to her
devoted doctors and staff. She was blessed with a devoted friend,
Susan Ralph, who took her to treatments, tests, and doctors’
appointments. And the family is thankful to all these caring people.
Visitation will be Friday, October 7th at Forest Lawn Funeral Home
in Goodlettsville, TN from noon until 2pm with funeral at 2pm
officiated by Russ Corley.
Private graveside service will follow at Hillcrest Cemetery in White
House, TN.
If you want to make a donation in her memory, the family suggests
the American Cancer Society, Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, Alive
Hospice or Sumner County Master Gardeners Association.
