Brenda J. Burke-DeSantos  passed away on August 29, 2021 at the age of 52. She was born on May 19, 1969 to James (Skip) and Dorothy (Dot) Landry from Scotland. She graduated in 1987 from Parish Hill High School. Brenda left behind her husband of 13 years, Carlos DeSantos, her five children, Forrest, Brittany, Stephanie, Courtney and. Sierra; two step children, Tricia and Reece, all of their significant others and eight beautiful grandchildren (ninth on the way!) who she absolutely adored. She will be greatly missed but always remembered by her parents, husband, children, grandchildren, siblings and so many extended family and close friends. If you had the privilege of knowing Brenda, you were likely to have been greeted by a big bright smile and the best of hugs (occasionally delicious cookies too!) She was always known for being a joyful person full of love for anyone and everyone. She was her husband’s best friend, her children’s biggest supporter, and world’s best “Grammy”. Many knew her as “mama B” because she loved all as her own. Her most favorite days started with a top down Jeep ride to the beach where she could spend all day basking in the sun to then come home and snuggle up with her very spoiled little dogs. She was also known by name at the local Dunkin Donuts and could not wait for the time of year she could order a Pumpkin Spice coffee every day! Her love was so great it was felt by many across the country. We pray all those she loved, continue to love others the way she did.
