Obituary for Brenda Margaret Tarrant (Fisher)
Brenda Margaret Tarrant
Early in the morning of November 18, 2022, Brenda Tarrant of Winnipeg, Manitoba passed away at 81 from complications arising from Alzheimer’s Disease.
Our Mother was born to Clifford and Margaret Fisher in 1940 in Ottawa, Ontario. She grew up with siblings Shirley Gilmore, Harold Fisher and Bryan Fisher (deceased). Brenda graduated from Fisher Park High School and married the love of her life, Captain John Tarrant (deceased), of Botwood, NL. They were married on May 6, 1961 at St. Margaret Mary Church in Ottawa. Together they raised four boys: Douglas, Mark, Kelly, and Thomas. Brenda was the beloved mother-in-law to Michelle, Jennifer, and Kathy.
Once settled in Winnipeg, Mom was very active at St. Paul the Apostle Parish, where she loved being a Eucharistic Minister regularly, and always dressed to the nines. After our Dad died, Mom began to work at Oakview Care Home and continued for many years in their service. Mom decided to leave Oakview Place because there were grandchildren to spoil: Gabrielle, Katrina, Ava, Eric, Rachel, and Christine. She could make people laugh and her sense of humour was contagious; we will always remember that.
I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the race,
I have kept the faith.
