Brenda Jo Andrews

Brenda White Andrews, a cherished and devoted matriarch, gentle spirit, and creative soul, was called home to be with the Lord on November 21, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on November 17, 1947, Brenda's life was one of unwavering love, selfless service, and artistic beauty, a life that touched so many. 

Brenda was the beloved daughter of the late Opal and Adrian Miller, and a caring sister to her late sibling, Judy Miller. Her journey through life was shared with Ronnie White, and together they raised a family that was her pride and joy. She was a loving mother to her children, Jodi Brazeal (JP), Rhonda Alexander (Travis), RJ White (Michele Dokupil), Jason Early, Billy Coy White (Robin), and Regina White Williams (Paul). She is also survived by Melissa "Missy" Andrews, wife of her late son Steven, that was more like a daughter to her than a daughter in law. Brenda was preceded in passing by her sons, Steven and Randall Andrews. Brenda was a doting grandmother to Anthony (Jessica), Ben (Kayla), Colby (Destiny), Savannah, Jenna (Garrett), Scout, Kaylee, Raegan, and Josh and a great-grandmother to Callie, Chase, Addyson, Michael, Brielle, Peyton, Ty, Van, Ever, River, Darrin, Cutter, Waylon, and Chandler. Her legacy continues to thrive through the lives of her precious great-grandchildren, including little Shiloh. Brenda’s extended family of beloved cousins will also hold her memory close to their hearts. 

Brenda was the heartbeat of her family—strong, steady, and full of love. She had a quiet confidence that made everyone around her feel grounded, and a heart that never stopped giving. Whether she was running the family businesses, Gunsmoke Motors and Bumblebee Services, or simply keeping everyone in line. Brenda led with grace, loyalty, and a fierce love that reflected how deeply she cared for her people.
Brenda’s creative spirit showed up in everything she touched. She had a natural gift for sewing and drawing, creating pieces that carried her warmth and imagination. She loved working in her yard, often trimming her plants with scissors just to make sure every detail was perfect. When she wasn’t tending to her garden or creating something beautiful, you could find her curled up with a crossword puzzle, her favorite quiet pastime that matched her love for small challenges and clever humor. 

An admirer of Princess Diana, Brenda shared in her grace and compassion. She had a sparkle about her. She was strong yet tender, stylish and creative, nurturing and fun, charismatic, selfless and gentle. Brenda was the epitome of unconditional love. She had a calming, loving presence and she carried herself with grace, kindness, and elegance because it was simply who she was.

Brenda believed in Jesus and lived her life with love, compassion, and quiet faith. Though we’ll miss her deeply, we know she’s now resting peacefully in Heaven, whole, joyful, and surrounded by the love she so freely gave here on earth. She made ordinary days feel special and reminded us what it means to love fully and live well. Her kindness, her strength, and her love will live on in the hearts of everyone blessed to know her.
