Brenda Gail McParland

Posted Mar 10, 2025 | 4:31 PM

December 10, 1956 — February 21, 2025

The world lost a beautiful soul when Brenda Gail McParland was greeted into Heaven with open arms on February 21, 2025, in Kamloops, B.C.

Brenda was born December 10, 1956, in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. Throughout her life, she was known for lighting up every room she was in with a big smile and joyous laughter no matter what came her way. Brenda’s excitement at life led to some of the most special memories – she was never one to turn down an adventure or try something new. In between working at the School Board Office (where her smiling face greeted everyone who came through the doors), Brenda’s time was spent with what she considered the most important people in the world – her family and her greatest source of joy – her two grandchildren.

One of her most notable qualities was how she loved to celebrate the small moments, and she took great joy in finding ways to make others feel special and cared for. A number truly cannot be put on how many lives have been changed because of Brenda, and her trademark of using kindness to make everyone feel valued.

Brenda is predeceased by her father Irwin Dahlke and daughter Katherine McParland. She will forever be lovingly remembered by her mother Gladys Dahlke, daughter Colleen (Brent) Moreau, and son Ian McParland. Her granddaughters Adeline and Emerson Moreau will fondly remember their grandmother and the short but beautiful time they had with her.

The loss of our dear Brenda is immeasurable, but so is the love she left behind. What an honour it was for this earth to have been graced with her beautiful presence for 68 years – may we all remember to spread compassion and joy the way she did.

A Celebration of Life for Brenda will be held Saturday, April 5 at 1:00 pm in the Kamloops Alliance Church, 200 Leigh Street. lieu of flowers, donations to A Way Home Kamloops are graciously appreciated. Condolences may be expressed at: http://www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
