Brenda Evans

The ever-loving, spirited, and talented Brenda Evans, passed away on December 5, 2023. Known affectionately by her grandchildren as "Nana", Brenda was born on August 18, 1948, and lived her life to its fullest extent for 75 splendid years between Gadsden, Genesee County & Grand Rapids. A woman who knew how to add a dash of spice to life, Brenda was an emblem of joy and creativity to everyone who knew her. Brenda spent much of her life charming everyone who cared to stop and look, with photos of her family or creations she had produced. She was an avid painter and sketch artist, her talent shining through in every stroke of her brush and line of her pencil. Her art was not just a hobby, but a passionate expression of her vibrant spirit and love for life. Above all, she loved spending time with her grandchildren, doting on them with all the love a Nana could offer. Brenda is survived by her son, Anthony Sullivan and his wife Mellisa, her loving daughter Angela Sullivan, and her cherished grandchildren Desiree, Connor, Bradley, Caleb, Shelby and Logan as well as her great-grandson Brayxton. She also leaves behind her niece, nephews and their families. Every one of them holds a special place in their hearts for their beloved Brenda and will forever cherish the memories they made with her. Brenda is preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Mary Nail as well as her sister Barbara.
