Brenda Lee Nance, 61, of Martinsville, Virginia, was ushered into heaven Sunday, March 22, 2026. She was born in Rockingham County, North Carolina, on October 12, 1964, to Arnett Ray Eanes and the late Ella Mae Howell Eanes.

Brenda was of the Christian faith and a member of Better Life Ministries in Patrick Springs, Virginia. Her faith was centered in Christ, and she found joy in listening to both contemporary and gospel music. Brenda loved animals and would take them all in if she could. She was a dedicated, wonderful woman with a spunky attitude who loved people and never met a stranger. Her love ran deep for her family, especially for her grandbabies.

She was a loving wife to her husband of 24 years, Peter Nance. She also leaves behind two daughters, Alisha Pratt and Trisha Watson; brother, Michael Eanes; seven grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

Services will be held at a later date. The family wishes to express their gratitude for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support that has been shown during their time of grief.

Wright Funeral Service & Crematory is serving the family.
