Proverbs 31:10 “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.”
Proverbs 31:28 “Her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.”
Brenda Perry Burleson, 63, Elizabethton, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 23, 2020 after a long, courageous fight with cancer. Brenda was preceded in death by her parents George and Dorothy Perry, two brothers George and David Perry, and her nephew Josh Perry.
Brenda will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 40 years, Steve, and her son Jeremy (Aretha) and daughter Tracy.

Several nieces and nephews also survive.
Brenda leaned on her faith to courageously battle renal cell cancer for nearly 18 years. Brenda loved the Lord. She loved life. She loved living. She loved doing. Brenda will be remembered for many things, but her love of Faith, Family and Friends will never be forgotten. Brenda was a true Proverbs 31 woman.
Brenda was active member of her church, Southside Freewill Baptist, until illness prevented her from going. She lived in Elizabethton her entire life. After graduation from Elizabethton High School, she attended Marshall Nave Paramedical School and obtained her LPN license. She worked at the Old Carter County Memorial Hospital, Sycamore Shoals Hospital and several nursing homes until she retired due to illness. She was a well-respected nurse.
