Mrs. Brenda A. Duncan, 73, of Corsicana, passed away on Friday, October 26, 2018, at Twilight Nursing Home with her loved ones by her side, after a long hard fight with cancer. Burial will be at Younger Cemetery.
Brenda was born on February 23, 1945, in Corsicana, Texas, to the late Cecil and Bobbie (Putman) Allen. She attended Blooming Grove High School and went on to Navarro College.
After working at the college for Dr. Kenneth Walker, Brenda made the long drive daily to East Texas State in Commerce where she earned her Bachelor’s degree. She later became the Business Manager for Navarro and was loved by faculty, staff and students. She had such a presence that she never met a stranger and all who knew her felt her warm and welcoming spirit.
She received many accolades during her lifetime; State Championship in UIL for Shorthand, outstanding employee of Navarro College, Bulldog Backer (numerous times) and finally earned her Certified Professional Secretary certification. Brenda was the one with “all the smarts” according to Dwight and Gay Lyn.
Brenda loved reading, working crossword puzzles and crocheting, but her greatest hobby was Navarro Bulldog Sports, whether it be coaching, calling the plays or just watching the games, she could always be found in the crowd. She was active in the First Baptist Church in Blooming Grove for many years. She brought such joy to all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Clark Putman, Jr.
Survivors include her husband of 49 years, Dwight Wayne Duncan; daughter, GayLyn Duncan; sisters-in-law, Linda Foster and her husband, Loren, and Jeanie Putman; brother, Eddy Putman and his wife, Jan; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.S5
