Mrs. Brenda Simmons Salvador, 69, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, went Home to be with her Savior the early morning of July 14, 2021. She was born October 27, 1951 in Kinston, NC to Wesley and Erma Lee Sowers. She was preceded in death by her parents, first husband (Ricky Simmons), and granddaughter (Lydia Byrd). She is survived by her husband, Tyrone Salvador; daughter, Shelly McGowan and her husband, Greg McGowan, with their children, Farrah (12) and Jonah (6); daughter, Stacey Byrd and her husband Willie Byrd, with their children, Luke (15), Sam (13), and Eden Lin (7); and special stepson, Victor Salvador. Brenda relished spending time with her family and friends and traveling from the mountains to the beach. A word game aficionado and puzzle expert, she enjoyed reading, crocheting, fishing, cooking, and sitting in her yard admiring her flowers. Brenda will long be remembered for her made-from-scratch red velvet cakes.
All are invited to attend a memorial service at Pilgrim Home Church on Saturday, August 7 at 11am.
