Brenda B. Kitchens, the daughter of Burl and Bernita (Abbott) Johnston, was born March 1, 1941 and took her Heavenly flight on June 29, 2025.
She is survived by two daughters, Sheryl Kitchens of Kennett, and Jennifer Kitchens of Spring Hill, TN. Her friends in the Tubberville House of Paragould, AR, many family and friends.
She was preceded in death by the love of her life, Glenn A. Kitchens, her parents, and many family and friends.
The family is so thankful for the love, support, and care provided by The Green House Cottages of Belle Meade. Her caregivers loved her as their own and provided the best of care. They certainly became family over the years mom was in their care.
We ask that you remember the great times and memories with both mom and dad. We pray that they have influenced your lives in many positives ways and you celebrate those times and use those examples to share your love for Jesus in your daily walk.
