Obituary of Brenda Tatlock-Burke

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Brenda Lee Tatlock-Burke on October 18, 2024, in Enfield, Nova Scotia. Born on December 14, 1964, in Woodstock, New Brunswick, Brenda was a woman of many talents and an undeniable zest for life. A gifted hobbyist, she found immense joy in her crafts, from quilting and glass art to clothing design and baking.

Above all, Brenda devoted herself to her family, especially her beloved children and grandchildren, who brought her endless pride and happiness. She leaves behind her cherished daughter, Tara  Graham (Lays), and son-in-law, Daniel Graham, and their children Lillian, Kourtney, Harlyn, and Everly. Brenda is also lovingly remembered by her son, Ryan Lays, and his daughter Madeline; her daughter Ashley (Darryl) Whitten (Lays), and their three children, Ryley, Tyler, and Hayden; and her son Jonah Tatlock-Burke and his partner, Chris Bessey & his son Odin. Brenda’s legacy will live on in each of them. She is also survived by her father, Jim Tatlock, and his wife, Jean, as well as her five siblings, Rosemary, Mike, Gary, Jami, and James, and their families.

Brenda was predeceased by her mother, Freda Tatlock, and her brother, Jerry Tatlock, whom she deeply missed.

At this time, there are no memorial plans in place. Brenda will be remembered with love by all whose lives she touched. Her warmth, creativity, and dedication to family will forever be cherished.
