Brenda J. Snay, a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully on April 12, 2026. Born on March 25, 1966, Brenda lived a life defined by her warmth, her resilience, and her unwavering dedication to those she loved.

Brenda shared 21 wonderful years of marriage with her husband, Rick Snay. She was the beloved daughter of Michelle Gray and the late Douglas Gray. As a mother, she was a constant source of love and support for her sons, Daniel and David Doss. Her greatest joy, however, was found in her role as "Grandmother" to her adored granddaughter, Olivia Doss.

A survivor in every sense of the word, Brenda beat breast cancer with courage and grace. For several years, she served her community as a medical receptionist at RMI in Southgate, where her kind nature greeted many. Outside of work, Brenda was happiest on her deck, surrounded by the laughter of her husband, friends, and family.

In addition to her husband, mother, children, and granddaughter, she is survived by her siblings, Deborah (Carl) Calleja and Kenneth (Sheila) Gray; her nieces, Stefanie and Kaitlyn; and her nephew, Nathan. She is also survived by her stepchildren, Christopher (Rebecca) Snay, Patrick (Anita) Snay, and Michelle (Christopher) Gregory; her step-grandchildren, Michael, Avi, and Ethan; and many cherished aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Brenda was a beautiful soul who brought happiness and joy wherever she went. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
