Our Brenda Ashley August 19, 1939 January 31, 2015 On Jan 31, 2015 we lost a cherished limb of our family tree. Brenda will be missed more than words can say by her husband of almost 56 years, David, her daughter Jo-Anne (Hubert) Jacobs of Athabasca and son Adam of Fort McMurray. She was the glue that held us together and her greatest pride and joy were Adam’s children. Alex (Ashley Gray) Ashley, Danielle Ashley and partner Nathan, Justin Ashley and partner Sawsha. Alex and A s h l e y ’ s d a u g h te r J a e l y n , Brenda’s only great-grandchild, is the next branch of her legacy. All her grandchildren were born and raised in Fort McMurray and live there today with their families. Brenda was also grateful for the extended family she inherited she loved them deeply - son-inlaw Hubert’s children Todd (Melanie) Jacobs and children Jayde Boyd, Breanne, Zachary and Damon and his daughter Tracey (Marlon) McLean along with their children Kolby, Reece and Piper. One of her many endearing qualities were the cards she sent out to all of them for any occasion - she never missed the chance to let them know they had a special place in her heart. Her love for her family knew no bounds and was always unconditional In her younger years, her and David developed a passion for cruising - their adventures included Asia, Cape Horn, the Panama Canal and Mediterranean to name a few. Her stories after each adventure left us all rolling on the floor in laughter !!! In her later years, she developed a love of quilting. She spent many, many hours at the local fabric shop scouring through looking for that ‘perfect’ quarter of fabric for her next project and then many, many weeks transforming those quarters into masterpieces. Brenda and David arrived in Canada from Great Britain in 1970. They made their home in Fort McMurray, retired in Medicine Hat and spent the last 12 years living in Athabasca Brenda also leaves behind her niece Sharon (Todd) Mathieson, their children Ryan and Justin as well as 2 nephews - Dale Wilson and Phil (Robyn) Wilson - all of the Edmonton area. She was predeceased by her mother Elsie Garvey, sister Linda Wilson and brother Graham Garvey. A Funeral Service was held on Wednesday February 4, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at the Athabasca Community Chapel with Reverend Marty Hays officiating with cremation to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alberta Lung Association.
