Beautiful, cherished daughter born September 28, 1988, died peacefully at home on January 6, 2026
Brie went to school in Grindrod and later she graduated at ALF in Enderby, and then completed the First Year of Culinary Arts at Salmon Arm Senior Secondary.
Brie struggled with ADHD throughout her life, but found success in helping others. Recently, she joined the “Adopt a Grandparent” program at a senior’s home and gave gifts to the Elderly who didn’t have family at Christmas. Even when she was a little girl having a birthday party, when she was asked what she’d like for a gift her answer would be ‘just for you to be there!’ All she ever wanted was to have friends and be a friend.
Brianna lived her life making people happy. She was a friend to many, of all ages and abilities…she didn’t discriminate. She smiled and chatted with strangers; she helped people with lesser abilities and if you smiled back at her she’d stop just to ask about your day. She was a fixer! If you were sad she’d make you smile; if you were upset, she’d listen with her entire being…if you needed a shoulder, she had strong shoulders.
Her love was unconditional. The world will be a much sadder place without her presence.
Forever loved, forever missed.
Val, Stewart & Rein:

Brianna was straight sunshine who impacted all of us lucky enough to be in her orbit. Our schools were so fortunate to have been so positively impacted by her acceptance of others and effervescent spirit.
