Brenda Berry Long's Obituary
Brenda Berry Long stepped into the world on June 13, 1943, and stepped into eternity on November 23, 2023 after a prolonged illness.
Brenda spent a significant part of her life serving others; early on as a personal caregiver for a special needs child and then as a customer service representative for Ma Bell (Verizon NJ ) after completing post secondary business education until her retirement in 1995. She further served with various community organizations including the Quinton Fire Company Auxiliary, Salem Rotary, and with Ranch Hope.
Brenda was active in her faith community spending the later years as a member of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Salem, but for many years as a proud member of the church her family founded, Berry's Chapel (Haven United Methodist Church, Quinton).
Likely first to meet Brenda in Glory, are her parents Rev. Adolphus and Daisy (Davis) Berry and her late husband Thomas. She leaves behind beloved companion of many years Joseph C. Hudson and his family; daughter Andree Koehler and her husband Glade, and grandson Khalil Robinson, brothers Arbor, Carl, and Eric Berry and their families, and a host of family and friends.
Graveside services will be held on Thursday November 30, 2023 at 11:30 am in Cedar Hill Memorial Park, Hopewell Twp.. A brief farewell for immediate family only will be held prior to the graveside at the cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in memory be made to the Neurodiversity Education Research Center (https://neurodiversitycenter.org/donate/) by selecting (offline donation) in Brenda's name, or to a charity of ones choice.
