Brenda S. Lymburner
ORLAND / WATERVILLE – Brenda S. Lymburner, 73, passed away on Saturday Sept. 16, 2023, with her loving family at her side. She was born on Dec. 22, 1949, the daughter of George and Leah (Penney) French.
Brenda loved her family, especially her grandchildren, and she passed on the value of prioritizing family above everything else. Even as Alzheimer’s limited her, nothing made her happier or smile wider than when she was with her family.
Brenda enjoyed creating things and spent many hours crocheting, sewing, making quilts, baking, and decorating cakes, and tending to her gardens. Brenda also kept busy raking blueberries, making wreaths, and working at local grocery stores.
Brenda loved animals and her home was shared with many dogs and cats over the years. She loved to feed the birds, chipmunks, squirrels, and the occasional bear by hanging many feeders in her yard, where she enjoyed watching them visit.
As an avid collector of Blue Willow pottery, Salmon Falls Pottery, and Precious Moments figurines, her home was filled with a variety of these pieces. Brenda loved to spend time at her family’s camp on Unknown Lake, swimming, fishing, and enjoying gorgeous sunsets by the fire.
Brenda is survived by her daughter, Louella Grindle and husband Art, daughter-in-law, Susan Brostrup-Jensen; grandchildren Tabi Holmes and husband Anthony, Connor Grindle, Ben Lymburner-Jensen, Katie Lymburner-Jensen, Maggie Lymburner-Jensen; two sisters, one brother; and many nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her beloved husband, Sheridan Lymburner; son, Andy Lymburner; and nine brothers and sisters.
A celebration of life will be held at the home of Mike and Cindy Jackson, Silverlake Road in Bucksport on Saturday Sept. 30, at 1 p.m. Arrangements are under the care of Mitchell-Tweedie Funeral Home and Cremation Services Bucksport. (mitchelltweedie-young.com).
