Brenda Jean Nowacki, 70, of Little Falls, NY, formerly of Red Creek, passed away Thursday, January 03, 2022, at Little Falls Hospital. She was born in Gouverneur, daughter of the late Darrell Stevenson, and Estker MacTurk Stevenson.  Brenda was a little, passionate, one-of-a-kind soul, who loved her family, playing cards/Yahtzee/bingo, ceramics, nature walks, fishing, travelling with her sisters, camping at the lake, her cats (Steve and Blue Eyes), animals, putting others first, laughing with her friends, giving you the business, and cooking for her grandchildren. She was active with, and loved and adored by, her fellow tenants and friends at The London Towers Apartments where she spent the last 10 years making memories. She was a woman of simple tastes and cared far more about giving, than anything else. Brenda cared for people regardless of who they were, where they came from, what they did, or who they aspired to be. She just simply, loved.  She was employed as a nurse's assistant at St. Marys Hospital, had also worked at Shuron Textron, Comstock Foods, Heritage Christian Services, and Brookdale Senor Living.
