Brenda Lee Warner, 57, of Bradford, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 8, 2025, with her family and dog Charlie by her side

Born on March 8, 1968, in Olean, NY, she was a daughter of the late Clifford H.
Warner, Jr., and Sandra J. (Smith) Warner. She graduated from Bradford Area High School.  

Brenda worked at Futures Rehabilitation Center for several years. She was affiliated with The First United Methodist Church in Bradford.

Brenda was a phenomenal superhero daughter, sister, and aunt who left a lasting impact on everyone she encountered. Her love and smile were contagious, and she shared it freely with others. She was loved and admired by all her family members and friends’ lives she touched. Her hugs and high-fives were truly one-of-a-kind. She loved belting out show tunes, especially Annie- “The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow”. She enjoyed her family, friends, drawing, bowling, swimming and watching Wonder Woman, Spider-man, Annie, Beauty and the Beast, and Hulk while drinking Mountain Dew. No Diet Mountain Dew either because she knew.

The Special Olympics held a special place in her heart; she excelled in bowling and swimming and even competed at state level. She won a contest for her beautiful artwork, which was displayed at the State Museum in Harrisburg. She was the main reason why Bradford Miles for Smiles 5k fundraiser was held for 5 years.

Brenda was the cornerstone of the family, and she will be deeply missed. She now has her new painless body in her eternal heavenly home, wearing her Wonder Woman outfit with a microphone in her hands singing away Annie and Wonder Woman songs and doing what she does naturally, spreading joy and happiness.

Brenda leaves behind her family who deeply feel her absence and a huge void in their hearts. She is survived by her siblings Jay (Angela) Warner, Tinia (Kevin) Ketchner, Rhonda (Robert) Race, Holly (John) Eakin, Patricia Warner her stepmother; and she was a proud aunt to Lewie (Katelyne) Siffrinn, Mitchel (Brionna) Galbraith, Brockton Hodge, Amanda (Zach) Sostakowski, Megan (Roberto) Vasquez, Mackenzie (Alex) Lem, Johnathon Eakin, Emily Warner, Brendan Warner and Grace Ketchner, along with one great-nephew, four great-nieces, aunts, uncles, cousins; and her dog Charlie.

She was predeceased by her parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts.
