Brenda Lou Kirk

Brenda Lou Walters Kirk, age 81, of Mt. Gilead, NC, passed away at her home on Monday, January 22, 2024.  

Ms. Brenda was born on January 12, 1943, to the late Robert Forrest Walters and Donnie Viola Walters in Lumberton, NC.  Ms. Brenda was a devoted wife, loving mother (Ma), and doting grammie and GiGi.  Ms. Brenda was a Pre-K teacher who enjoyed teaching so much it was like she never worked.  In her free time, Ms. Brenda loved to garden and work in her flower beds.  She could never sit still except to read and do crossword puzzles.  You couldn't keep her inside, but on the messy days she loved to go shopping.  She knew her way around a kitchen and you would never leave her home hungry.  Ms. Brenda stood strong in her faith.  She loved the Lord and spent a lot of time reading her Bible.  Above all else, she loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  To know her was to love her. 

Brenda is survived by her husband of 59 years, William Don Kirk, Sr.; sons: William Don Kirk, Jr. of Candor, Bradley Kirk (Wendi) of Austin Texas; grandchildren: Brittany Vaughn (Clint) of Candor, Jamie Kroll (Andrew) of Oahu, Hawaii, Justin Kirk (Ashley) of Texas; great grandchildren: Cayden Vaughn, William Kroll, Carson Vaughn, and Olive Kroll; sisters: Meredith Edge and Jean Smith.  She is preceded in death by her parents and sisters, Teddy Obershea, Mary Powell, Doris Powell, and brother Oliver Walters.  

A memorial service will be held on Monday, January 29, 2024 at 1:00 PM at the Pugh Troy Funeral Home Chapel, 211 N. Main St., Troy. 

Pugh Troy Funeral Home is serving the family of Ms. Brenda Kirk.
