Brenda Faye Brady

Brenda Faye Cartwright "Adams" Brady, 74, of Ooltewah TN, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by family on February 16, 2019 after a long battle with Multiple Myeloma. All that knew her will always remember her as being young at heart and full of life! She was a retired inspector for McKee Bakery, where she had worked for over twenty years. She loved spending time with her family and friends and vacationing at the beach. She believed in living each moment to its fullest and did so with her own flare with a few sparkles and rhinestones mixed in for fun! In the end she had two mottos that she lived by "I might be small but I am still fierce" and "I am stronger than you think."
Brenda was born on January 31, 1945 in Cleveland TN. She was the oldest daughter of the late Parris and Ruth "Woody" Cartwright of Cleveland.
