Brenda Sue Ramey, 74, of Dyersburg, Tennessee, died on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at West Tennessee Healthcare-Dyersburg Hospital in Dyersburg, Tennessee.
Born Monday, August 6, 1951, in Dyer County, Tennessee. She was the daughter of the late George Bud Nolan and the late Rossie V. Chapman Nolan. Mrs. Ramey worked at Thomas Industries for over twenty years.
Brenda Sue lived a life centered around simple joys, adventure, and the deep love she had for her family. She had a special passion for shopping and loved visiting different cities in search of unique finds. Whether browsing flea markets or exploring yard sales, Brenda found happiness in the treasures she discovered and in the time spent enjoying those moments.
Over the years, she and her husband made many memories together fishing—something they both truly enjoyed. Being on the water brought her peace, but nothing brought her more joy than her grandchildren. Brenda was all about her grandbabies; she delighted in taking them out for “junk food” and doing anything and everything that made them smile. Time spent with them was her greatest joy, and she treasured each moment.
