Brenda Lee Suggs loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend passed away peacefully with her family by her side on April 17, 2021, at age 69.

Brenda was born November 8, 1951, in Washington D.C. After graduating from Hampton High School, she married her high school sweetheart, Ralph Suggs, on December 6, 1969. They ultimately designed and built their home in Carrollton, VA where they’ve resided for the past fifteen years. They were happily and faithfully married for over 50 years. She was a devout Christian woman who loved Jesus in her daily walk. Brenda enjoyed teaching Sunday School to children for many years at Peninsula Missionary Baptist Church.

Brenda worked for Avon Fashions in Newport News for over 20 years. She founded Brenda’s Cleaning in 2000 where she touched countless families’ lives with cheerful service and friendship.

Brenda was a loving and nurturing influence on her entire family. Her kindness and warmth endeared to her son, daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren, who knew her as “mamaw”. She was happiest when in her kitchen cooking delicious southern meals for her husband, family, and anyone who sat at her table. She loved the holidays with her family that consisted of laughter and fellowship. After a bountiful harvest from her husband’s garden, she would can vegetables and fruits to share. She enjoyed communicating with her siblings and friends daily. She loved watching the birds feeding in her backyard where she kept beautiful flowers and seasonal flags.

Brenda is survived by her loving husband, Ralph Edwin Suggs; her son, Bradford James Suggs and her daughter, Megan Alyse Horne and husband, Scott Mason Horne. She is also survived by two grandchildren, Lahna Mae Horne and Shepard Page Horne and her siblings, Linda Gail King, Joe Edwin Peed, and Margaret Ann Stacey.

Brenda was preceded in death by her parents, James Ransdell Peed and Alice Marie Levi and brothers Steven Jeffery Peed and Ronald James Peed.

A memorial service will be held at Smithfield Baptist Church at 1 PM on Saturday, May 8 with Pastor Patrick Wood officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks to please consider making a donation to the American Heart Association in her memory. The family will not be receiving friends and family at their residence before or after the memorial service as they grieve and process this great loss.

See Condolences

Brother Ralph, Brad, Megan, and all of Suggs family, We were so sorry to hear about Sister Brenda’s passing. We love your family and always missed fellowshipping with you at Peninsula. We rest in the promise that we shall see Brenda again. In the presence of the Lord, She no longer suffers any pain or suffering. Brother Ralph, you and all the family are in our prayers. God Bless.

My sincerest sympathies to Brenda's family. I have many wonderful, warm memories of Brenda. We worked together for many years at Avon. Brenda was a very kind and generous person. May she rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to the family and friends. I met Brenda when we worked at Avon Fashions. I will never forget the day that she received the phone call that they had a baby for her, I took that call and I was really excited for her. The last time I saw Brenda after many, many years was at the Farm Fresh in Smithfield she hadn't changed a bit, she was just as nice as she was when I worked with her. She will be missed!

Sending our love and condolences to the family. May God give you all the peace, comfort & strength only HE can give. Chuck & Shirley Dunn

Your faith in God and the amount of love you showed everyone will forever be in my heart. I don’t think there was a mean bone in your body. I’ll miss your smile and your infectious laugh. I love you ❤️

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mrs. Brenda was an amazing person. She was always so kind to my family. Although I only knew her for a short time, she made a memorable impact on my life. She was truly a beautiful human being. I wish peace and love for her entire family. Rest In Peace.

Brenda was such a wonderful person and so special to our family. She treated us like her family and took such good care of us. She was always thoughtful about the kids and what they were doing and seemed as proud as we were! Every Christmas she brought us some homemade goody. Chip always says her Pimento Cheese was the best he ever had. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed meeting Lahna’s Mamaw this year and loved seeing her smiling face in the afternoons. Hugs and love to you all.

I am so sorry about Brenda’s passing. She was my sister’s (Sue Pearce) best friend from high school. They shared a long lasting friendship. I remember Brenda very well and I remember her as a sweet soul that always have a smile on her face. My prayers for you and your family Barbara Pearce Fox
