SPRINGLAKE, NC — Brenda Jette of North Carolina died in the early hours of January 7, 2021 after a hard-fought battle with cancer. She was at home with her daughter and her family when she passed. She was 64.
Brenda was born March 28, 1956 to Leon and Frances Raymond of West Lebanon, NH, later of North Thetford, VT. Brenda was married twice (Brian Gregory of Post Mills, VT, and Robert Jette of Lebanon, NH), and although both marriages ended in divorce, she was blessed with three beautiful children and 11 grandchildren, whom she loved dearly. She also loved and was grateful for her many friends in the Upper Valley, especially those at Windsor Hollow in WRJ, VT, where she resided until December 2019. She became too ill to live alone so she moved to North Carolina to live with her daughter, April, and family. She was happy there and was well cared for.
