A funeral service will be held at 12 P.M. on Friday, January 23, 2026, at Beulah Baptist Church, 3124 Beulah Rd, Markham, VA 22643, with Reverend Michael Ferguson officiating. The family requests that no one in attendance wear red, as Brenda did not consider it appropriate for a funeral, and invites guests to visit one hour prior to the service. Following all services, the burial will take place at Good Hope Cemetery, Front Royal. The family would like to invite everyone to share a meal and reminisce at Beulah Baptist Church after leaving the cemetery.

Brenda was born on March 23, 1963, in Front Royal, Virginia, to the late Granville Lane Sr. and Vermel Elizabeth Williams Lane. She was also preceded in death by five sisters, Ellen Williams, Bessie Grigsby, Alice Williams, Mary Folks, and Audrey Lane; and three brothers, Granville Lane Jr., David Lane, and Jammie Lane

Surviving Brenda is her heartbeat and granddaughter, JaKaelyn “Lucy” Jackson; her daughter, Quintina Jackson (Buck); her son, Duane Matthews (Jessica); her grandsons, Sean Matthews, Izaiah Matthews, and Kaleb Matthews; her siblings, Estelle Ford, Jennie Champ, Jane Lane, Ellery Lane, Richard Lane, and Lindsey Lane; her god-daughter, Konanita Gilmore (Vernon); her admired friend, Skip Brown; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Brenda was a member of Beulah Baptist Church and often went with her friend, Skip. She loved to dance, sing in the choir, and spend time with her family, especially her heartbeat, Lucy. Every year, Brenda made it a point to bring the family together for a cookout.

Pallbearers will be some of her loved nephews.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the family to help them through this difficult time.
