Forsyth, Brenda
Brenda Marion Forsyth (nee Lindsay), of Holstein, passed away at South Bruce Grey Health Centre, Durham on Thursday, March 25th, 2021 in her 60th year. Beloved Wife of Dan Forsyth. Loving Mother of Michael Forsyth and his partner Ginny Alexander, and Mallory Esbaugh and her husband Wes. Proud Granny of Riley Esbaugh. Cherished Daughter of James and the late Marion Lindsay. Dear Sister of Timothy (Denise) Lindsay, Peter (Kristy) Lindsay, and Colleen Stevens. Fondly remembered by her aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Brenda Forsyth was a bombshell brunette that loved and lived life to the fullest in style. Brenda was passionate about spending time with Mike, Mallory, Wes, Ginny and Riley, her friends at their Florida property, ripping down the road in her Tri Glide, and around their farm in Southgate. She loved to organize, work tirelessly to accommodate others and always made them feel appreciated with a positive attitude. Brenda enjoyed decorating, entertaining, dressing up for a party, and loved supporting the love of her life, Dan Forsyth. Brenda was a natural philanthropist that enjoyed work especially if there was a challenge involved and working with like-minded. She was a true businesswoman and knew she loved accounting from an early age as her first love until she found and married Dan Forsyth in 1984. Then it was her third love. Dan, family, work. She was a woman of grace and stature that was able to encourage and challenge anyone who crossed her path. When the deliberations were complete, you felt that you were Brenda’s best friend and were doing exactly as you were told. From lifelong friends to recent acquaintances, all were important to Brenda and she will be forever remembered in our hearts.
