January 27, 1950 - August 27, 2015

Brenda Jean Findley, 65, of Seymour, passed away at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, August 27, 2015, at home surrounded by her loved ones.

She was born January 27, 1950, in Seymour, Indiana, the daughter of the late Emmett and Alice Dowling Sterling. On May 29, 1971, she married the love of her life, Martin Edwin Findley, in Seymour, Indiana, and he survives.

Brenda was a beloved wife, mother, and grandmother who was cherished by her family and friends. She was a member of The Crossing in Columbus, Indiana, and she truly loved her church family. She had a servant’s heart. She loved helping people in whatever way she could. The greatest way she expressed her love for Jesus was ministering to others through her cooking. She was an extremely selfless and compassionate person. Her most precious commodity in life was her family especially her grandkids. She loved Jesus and her strongest heart’s desire was that everyone would come to know Him.

She is survived by her loving husband, her daughters, Mica Danae (Michael) Ellis, Shanna Lanae Spring (Ramiah) Cavanaugh; five grandchildren, Caitlyn, Conner, Abigail, Gracelyn, and Luke; a brother, Charles (Carolyn) Sterling, and two sisters, Patty (Dick) Elmore, and Caroline (Eddie) Carr.
