Brenda Ann Deming, 76 passed peacefully on May 18, 2019 with family by her side at The Glencliff Home in Benton, NH.

Brenda was born on June 10, 1942 in Lebanon, NH to Philip Ira Deming and Barbara Deming (Voudrin).

Brenda spent many years working at the former Barge Inn Resteraunt as a waitress. She enjoyed talking and learning about her customers, who soon became friends.

She loved the summer, and often was caught in her convertible with the top down listening to Neil Diamond. She collected rocks and pieces of nature each piece having a story, often of a grandchild that brought the item to her with love.

Brenda loved to listen to the trains they reminded her of her dad. She also loved sports often visible at her children's, grandchildren's and great grandchildren's games, always taking school spirit and sportsmanship seriously.

She was a lover of Jesus. She loved country music and could often be seen at the local music jams or found listening and jamming out to Johnny Cash.

She was the ultimate provider, remaking beds, not allowing anyone else to do the dishes or laundry because it would just never be done right. She devoted her life to making sure everyone had their needs and wants met before worrying about her own.

She was a beautiful soul and loved by nearly everyone she met. She became Gram to so many as she decided to raise and be the guardian of two of her grandchildren. She was Gram to all their friends. And any person she met was greeted with a hug. She loved and advocated for all children. She was a true warrior and selfless champion.

She was predeceased by her son, Perry Davidson.

She is survived by her twin sister Sandra "Lee" Baird, of North Haverhill, NH. Brother Carlton Deming of Arizona. Brother Randy Deming and wife Becky Deming of Oklahoma. Her son Philip Davidson and wife Annette Davidson of Woodsville, NH. A grandson Jason Davidson and his children Camren, Gavin and Lexis. Joseph Davidson and his son Oakley. Her grandsons Jake, Luke, and Ean Davidson and their families. Her son Thomas Davidson of Barre, VT. His two children Emily Davidson and Elizabeth Davidson and their families. Her daughter Christal Millette of Willow Springs, NC. Her granddaughters that she raised Shyanne Allbee, husband Brandon Allbee, and great grandson Beau Allbee of East Ryegate, VT and Sarah Hatch of Carlisle, PA. Also survived by other great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
