As a friend recently stated “No one loved or dreamed bigger than Brenda!”

Brenda will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” Romans 10:14-15 (ESV)

Brenda was preceded in death by her husband, Robert “Tom” Clopton and her parents Albert and Gladys Terry of Linwood.

She is survived by her two sons, Troy (Krista) Clopton and Trevor (Candace) Clopton; eight grandchildren Timothy (Andrea), Grant, Callie, Daphanie, Gavin, Gunnar, Garrett and Audrey Clopton; two great-grandchildren, Isabella and Brayden Clopton; her brother, Sam (Patty) Terry; three nieces, four great-nephews, two great-nieces and a great-great-nephew and niece.
