Brenda Louise Martin
March 20, 1953 ~ July 13, 2019
Brenda Louise Teates Martin
Of Centreville, VA, passed from this plane of existence July 13, 2019.
Born March 20 1953 to Alice E. C. Jones Teates and Frank W. Teates of Arcola, VA. Beloved Wife of Wesley Ronald Martin (deceased) and mother to Sean Wesley Martin. Survived by sister Martha A. Long, nieces Jo-Ann Long and Teresa LaRue, mother-in-law Shirley A. Waggoner Martin, sister-in-law June E. Martin, brother-in-law Mike Martin, numerous other nieces, and nephews, and cousins.
Brenda was at her core the reflection of the word “kind.” She loved nature and animals and had her property certified as a wildlife refuge. Her home was warm and welcoming, and she would always offer to feed you and listen to your words. She held a type of wisdom that could magnify even the tiniest silver lining in moments of sadness. When Brenda really got to laughing, it was infectious and truly something great to be a part of. Framed oil paintings by Brenda adorn many walls throughout her home, and the walls are better for it. Brenda was so many things that this should be a book instead of a blurb, yet even a thousand pages would never capture what she meant to the lives she entered and left. Her lessons will reverberate through the actions of those who were lucky enough to be a part of her life, and, like ripples on a pond, positivity will spread long after the pebble has disappeared. She was a truly lovely being and she will be missed very deeply.
A funeral will be held at 12 PM Sunday July 21 at Money & King Funeral Home, 171 West Maple Avenue, Vienna, VA, 22180.

I’m so sorry for your recent loss. My deepest condolences to your family. Death of a loved one is never easy to endure, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Continue looking to God and you will always find comfort in him (2 Cor 1:3,4). He will soon destroy the enemy of death (1 Cor 15:26), and He will soon return our loved ones to us through the resurrection (John 5:28,29). Please visit JW.org and search “When Someone You Love Dies”, it helped me through some difficult times and I hope you can find comfort in it also.
Brenda was one of the few people I stayed in contact with after 25 years in the phone company. She was always an oasis of calm in a deadline driven environment with lots of stressed out co workers. Nothing meant more to her than her family and I remember her always bringing Sean for Christmas. I know her and Ron are back together and will be always remembered fondly. God Bless them both.
