Brenda Kaye Densmore

Brenda Kaye Densmore, 82, of Mt. Olive, AL, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2025, surrounded by her beloved family. Born on December 24, 1942, to Margaret Eulalia Jackson Moore & Douglas Moore, in Autauga County, AL. Brenda was a lifelong resident of the Mt. Olive community she cherished deeply. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother whose heart was as big as her love for her family and faith. Brenda spent her life in service to others, following in the footsteps of her late husband, Charles Ray Densmore. Together, they shared 63 years of love, devotion, and partnership. She was a member of Gardendale’s First Baptist Church and was also an integral part of the Gideon organization alongside her husband, helping distribute Bibles and share the message of Christ’s love. Brenda's legacy lives on through her unwavering faith, her dedication to her family, and her deep love for her community. In her free time, she enjoyed talking on the phone with family and friends always giving and receiving updates, watching Wheel of Fortune, shopping (she was quite the coupon queen!), hosting family game nights, and cheering on her beloved Atlanta Braves. She loved traveling and made every holiday and birthday celebration special for those she loved. Brenda was predeceased by her husband, Charles Ray Densmore, and her son, Stephen Ray Densmore. She was also preceded in death by her parents and siblings: sister, Jean Hill and brothers, Jacky and Gregg Moore. She is survived by her children: Denise Logan (Ronnie), Randy Densmore (Cynthia), and Teresa Mayfield (Ron); her cherished grandchildren: Kristi Butler, Tiffany Gravlee (Ryan), Kristy Turner (Luke), Valerie Goldenstar (Grant), Sarah Espanet (Scott), Jerrod Gowins (Brittany), Haley Allen (Nick), Brittany Simon (Zac), Scott Mayfield (Jennifer), Stephanie Evans (Justin), and Ryan Densmore (Caroline); twenty-two great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She is also survived by her brothers Wayne Moore (Sharon) and Kenneth Moore (Christine); her sisters-in-law Shirley Belcher (Ronnie) and Tami Moore, as well as many nieces, nephews, and dear friends who loved her dearly. A memorial service will be held at Gardendale Heritage Funeral Home on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, with a 10:00 A.M. viewing and an 11:00 A.M. service. Burial will follow at Mt. Olive Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the Gideon organization to continue Brenda’s legacy of spreading the Gospel. Brenda will be deeply missed, but her life of love, faith, and service will continue to inspire all who knew her. Her family finds comfort knowing she is now in the presence of the Lord and reunited with her beloved husband and son. The family would like to add a special thanks to Molly Kirk, a devoted friend and caretaker for over three years. We do not know what we would have done without you.
