Brenda Jean (Taylor) Wood

Brenda Jean (Taylor) Wood, 81, of Owensboro, passed away Monday, September 30, at Hermitage Care and Rehabilitation Center. She was born February 6, 1943, to the late James Millard and Wanda (Crowder) Taylor. Brenda embodied a spirit of giving and compassion throughout her life. She dedicated over 15 years to her career as a nurse, giving compassionate care in hospice settings, hospitals, and doctors' offices. In earlier years, Brenda also flourished as a beautician. She was known for her green thumb and could make anything grow. Brenda enjoyed hunting, painting and quilting. Those who knew Brenda often remarked on her belief that there was nothing she couldn't do. This can-do spirit resonated through her hobbies, her career, and, indeed, in her daily life.

In addition to her parents, Brenda is preceded in death by her brothers, Millard Taylor and Mike Taylor.

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 61 years, Stephen Thomas Wood; son, Steve Wood (Barbie); brother, Phillip Taylor; granddaughter, Candice “C.C.” Wood; sisters-in-law, Paula Taylor and LeeAnnette Taylor; as well as eight nieces and nephews. 

The funeral service for Brenda will be 2 PM Saturday, October 5, at Glenn Funeral Home and Crematory. Visitation will be from 11 AM until time of service at the funeral home. Burial will follow in Elmwood Cemetery. 

In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may take the form of contributions to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
