Brenda Lee Cifuentes, 70, of Roanoke passed away peacefully joining her Lord and Savior on Sunday, April 25, 2021. She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Mary Ann Dunlap.

She is survived by her loving daughter, Ariana Smith (Donnie Terry); grandchildren, Alexia Smith and Damian Smith; and siblings, Diane, Steve, Donna and Robin.

Brenda had a heart of pure gold and lived her life with passion for everything she did. She was a hard-worker and a very creative person. She loved to paint, draw, and sew; and she was good at all hands-on crafts and other work. She loved listening to the Beatles and "Hey Jude" was her favorite song was a strong lady and an independent woman, yet she was graceful and adventurous, too. Even in death she never gave up on her daughter; giving her one last moment to share before she departed. She will be missed by all those who knew her.
