Brenda Jean Smith Fore, 65, wife of Robert Brian Fore, died Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at MUSC Health Columbia Medical Center after a long illness.
Brenda was born May 9, 1959, in Kingstree, SC, a daughter of Vonnie Prosser Smith and the late Merrill Gamble Smith. She was a 1977 graduate of Williamsburg Academy and received an associate degree from Florence Darlington Technical College. Brenda retired from Santee Electric Co-Op after many years of service. She was a member of Central Presbyterian Church. Brenda displayed a great love of life to everyone around her. She loved her family dearly and they were the center of her life. She was an adventurous person who enjoyed all rides, especially a roller coaster. She was the sister, aunt, or cousin that all the family wanted by their side when anything fun was going on. At the same time, she had a soft heart when it came to animals of all kinds. Brenda loved being at the beach, but she enjoyed nothing more than a glorious Saturday afternoon in Clemson!
In addition to her mother Vonnie and her husband Robert, Brenda is survived by: her daughter, Crystal A. Cooper; grandchildren, Brayden Jessica Floyd and Ollie Robert Floyd; sister, Sherry (Myron) Kellahan; niece, Anna K. (Ryan) Brown; nephews, Robert M “Bert” (Kerri) Kellahan, and Joshua “Josh” (Emily) Kellahan; and 9 great nieces and nephews. Brenda was preceded in death by her father Merrill Smith, her daughter Jessica Barton Fore, her maternal grandparents, Bert and Odean Prosser, and her paternal grandparents, Gamble and Pauline Smith.

So sorry to hear my sweet friend love you and your family 💕
LovedBrenda and loved working with her at SANTEE ELECTRIC. My prayers go out to Robert Ms Vonnie Sherry and the whole family. She will surely be missed.
Brenda will definitely be missed. We were good friends in school. Even though I had lost track of her over the years, my memories of this feisty lady will remain. I pray God’s blessings of peace and comfort for the family in the upcoming days, weeks, and months ahead.
I remember Brenda well. She was such a sweet and genuine person. We both grew up attending Central Presbyterian Church. I did not realize it at the time but we were related. Her great great grandfather, Asa Edwin Brown, was also my great great grandfather. Our most sincere condolences go out to her family.
So very sorry Robert. Praying for you and your family.
My heart is heavy for Brenda’s family. She was such a wonderful co-worker…and more wonderful as a friend. As we both moved on from working, we stayed in touch and she shared great stories of her family. She’d put all the effort into coming to join me for lunch when I visited. Our last lunch was back in February and I think we both sort of knew that it was likely the last. I will always remember our parting conversation. What a great friend Brenda was to me.
So very sorry to hear of Brenda’s passing. May God comfort your hearts and give you strength as only He can.
Connie, Sherry and family, my heart and prayers go out to all of you. She’ll always live in your hearts and memories.
I am so sad to hear this news. Brenda was such an amazing person. Much love to all the family.
