Brenda Fay Kelly

Ms. Brenda Fay Kelly, 64, of Smyrna passed away on February 16, 2021.  She was born on October 16, 1956 in Murfreesboro, TN.  She was preceded in death by her parents, John H. Warrick and Katherine (Rich) Morton.

She is survived by her daughters, Tonya (Todd) Thomas of Manchester and Lisa Warrick of Woodbury; siblings, Cheryl (Jim) Barlow of Readyville, Dale Fletcher of Woodbury, Russell Morton of McMinnville, Susan Taylor of Murfreesboro, ten grandchildren, three great grandchildren, and a special friend Tina Whitley.

She loved her family dearly and was a strong person able to endure many challenges in life.  Quick to tell you what she thought and stuck to her way of doing things.  She enjoyed many outdoor activities like fishing, horse riding, and bird watching. Another passion was her love for gardening of all kinds, she had a green thumb and loved caring for plants.  Her home was filled with many plants she had for years.    She was a Christian and had rededicated her life to Christ at the church where her sister Cheryl attends in the last couple of years. Through the years she worked at different jobs.  She trained and became a CNA working for Tullahoma Life Care Center for several years and she helped with elder care for other families.  She also worked for Hootens Pest Control until her health kept her from being able to work.

Due to concerns with COVID 19 the family will hold a private service this coming week.  If you would like to support them by making a donation for the expenses or by sharing condolences and memories at www.smithfuneralhomewoodbury.net  Smith Funeral Home, 303 Murfreesboro Rd.
