Brenda Sharon Yeoman (née Bushaw) left this world on Nov 7, 2023, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. She was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was described as a "mother to many" in a recent oral tribute.
Brenda was a self-taught artist who learned the skills of weaving, quilting, pen-and-ink drawings, calligraphy, and other talents. Passionate about history and genealogy, she researched and validated local Atlanta history and self-published a book entitled "Blood's Depot." Her love of antiques and primitives is evident in her collection of countless treasures she proudly displayed in her home and shared with others. Brenda founded and served as a member of the "We Wear History" group and was noted for her portrayal of Rebecca Roberts. She also served the local community as the Director of the E. J. Cottrell Memorial Library for over 15 years and as an EMT.
Brenda was born to Donna (née Ferris) and George Bushaw on Jul 11, 1953, in Rome, NY, and was raised by Donna and Edwin (Ted) Harrison.
She leaves behind a doting husband, Randy Yeoman, and two loving sisters, Belinda Schuler and Betrina Knox.
Brenda had seven children: Shelly, Florence DiGennaro Reed (Derek), Salvatore DiGennaro (Alison), Melinda (née DiGennaro) Henderson (Scott), Shannon Yeoman, Brian Yeoman, and Chris Yeoman. She also leaves behind 15 grandchildren [Brandon Yeoman, Brittany Henderson, Destyni (née Henderson) Walker, Alexis (née Henderson) Ford, Peyton Henderson, Jaiden DiGennaro, Joseph DiGennaro, Brandon Duprey, Tyler Duprey, Austin Duprey, Cassidy (nee Duprey) Doss, Ian Carter, Amie Yeoman, Emily Yeoman, and Giovanni Reed] and 14 g-grandchildren.
