Brenda Dunham Obituary

Brenda Menuet Dunham, June 19, 1940 - November 12, 2017. A native New Orleanean and longtime resident of Baton Rouge, Brenda Dunham of Diamondhead, MS passed away peacefully with her devoted sons John Dunham and Brett Dunham at her side. Accompanying her sons were John's partner, Gail Zander, and Brett's wife, Debbie Dunham. Brenda loved her two 'boys', golf, spoiling her dog, gardening, and a nice glass of merlot, not necessarily in that order. She will be greatly missed by her loving family and friends. A Celebration of Brenda's Life will be held on Saturday, November 18th at Aunt Dot's B & B, 222 North Beach Blvd., Bay St. Louis, MS at 11 AM. Brenda was a longtime supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and donations in her memory are suggested in lieu of flowers.

So sorry to hear about Brenda. I loved when she lived next door to me and I could always count on her to watch out for me and have interesting conversations (and share a glass of wine!). I'm glad I was blessed to know her and I send my prayers and condolences to the family. May she rest in peace.
