Brenda Lee Pettitt

June 27, 1959 - May 7, 2021

Brenda “Brady” Lee (Scarborough) Pettitt, 61 of Charlestown, MD passed away at her home on Friday, May 7th, 2021.

Brenda was born in Elkton, MD on June 27, 1959 to the most wonderful and loving parents; George and Louise Scarborough of North East, MD.

A graduate of North East High School, Brenda continued her education later in life at Cecil College where she completed the Phlebotomy program with high honors. Most recently, Brenda was a Customer Service Representative at Performance Food Group where her selfless dedication to her customers earned her numerous service awards to include Purveyor of the Year and continuous customer praise to this day. Brenda was known for sparking a conversation with anyone and simply enjoyed helping out whomever and whenever she could. She was the sass of the party and spoke fluently in sarcasm. Recently Brenda took charge and initiated a program in Charlestown, MD to spay and neuter feral cats for Cecil County Animal Services.

For 25 years, Brenda was a devoted wife to the love of her life, Robert Pettitt of Charlestown, MD. She was the loving mother to Amie Rapoza of North East, MD, Chad Rapoza and his wife Monica of North East, MD, Kelly Rapoza of Waynesboro, PA and “Cat-Mom” to her beloved kitties K.K., Spooky, and Sheba. She was the “Nana” who gave the best hugs to 8 grandchildren: Autumn, Aubrey, Avery, Kaden, Brendan, Carson, Madison, and Savannah whom she loved dearly and spoiled in every way imaginable. Brady was blessed with 3 wonderful sisters; Kathy Scarborough of Morgantown, PA, Debbie Cycyk of Middletown, DE, and Mary Pierce of Elkton, MD, as well as one entertaining little brother, Mark Scarborough of North East, MD. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews. She will be dearly missed, particularly at the Tuesday night Scrabble game with her Mom and Sisters.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, May 16th, 2021 at 1:30 pm at Pavilion 2 of the North East Beach Area of Elk Neck State Park in North East, MD. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to Cecil County Animal Services to carry-on Brenda’s passion.

You would've been so proud of the Celebration of Life your family held in your memory today. You left your mark in this life by touching hearts and lives of so many. I am a much better person for having known you. It's going to take me a little bit to come to terms with the fact that you are gone. I will cherish my memories of you. Thank you for the laughter my friend!

If time had given us one more day you would have been here and I could have laughed with you one more time. We could have updated the chapters of our lives. I was SO excited you were coming to Mass. Instead I must reminisce in my mind the early chapters of our lives as children visiting every summer, as teenagers when you stayed with us, as young adults when you moved here with Amy and met Carl and had Chad and Kelly. From there our paths took different roads. My heart is broken that we couldn't re-connect and reminisce about days gone by and how we ever survived those times. I take comfort in knowing how much you are loved by all your family and friends. You deserved it. You showed us all how to keep going with laughter and sarcasim when life throws rocks in your path. Rest easy, Brenda, you gave your family the gift of strength to see them through.

My prayers to Rob and the kids ,I loved working with her almost 10 years together at PFG. She always had us laughing. My heart breaks for the family. RIP Brenda you will be missed.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
