​Brenda was known for her kindness, resilience, and unwavering strength. She took great pride in the traditional art of canning and preserving food, skills she honed over many years. Above all, Brenda found her greatest joy in the simple pleasures of life: spending cherished summers at the lake, going for scooter rides with her husband, and being with her grandkids. Her warmth and spirit will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.

 

​She is survived by her devoted husband, Todd Sansom; her loving children, Brittany Sansom and Tina Hansen (Kevin); and her cherished grandchildren, Harleigh, Haiden, and Kirk. She also leaves behind her brother, Robert Freeman (Pauline); her sisters, Sandi Shannon (Paul) and Lori Hanson (Mike); her cousins, Kelly Robb and Terri-Sue Clare (Mike); and her nephews, Dustin, Cody, and Devon, as well as many other extended family members and friends.

​

Brenda was predeceased by her uncle, Terry (Donna Beth), whom she was so fond of and grateful to have found later in life.

 

​A Celebration of Life will be held at the Geary Lions Club on May 3, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. ​In lieu of flowers, donations in Brenda’s honor may be made to The War Amps
