Brenda leaves behind to cherish her memory, her husband of 57 years, Bob Chappell; daughter, Amy Chisom and her husband, Dwayne Chafin; son, Rob Chappell; sisters, Carol Bowers and Sherry Leonard – who was devoted and loving and was with her throughout; special granddaughter that was like a daughter to her, Kelsey Worley; also grandchildren, Madison and Gavin Chappell; great-grandson, Crue Worley; special best friend that was just like a sister, Linda McGhee, who had been friends with her for 55 years and didn’t miss a beat throughout her whole sickness.

The family will receive friends from 12pm to 2 pm on Tuesday, May 5, 2026 at Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Home, Blountville. A funeral service will follow at 2pm with Pastor Bob Shupe officiating.
