Brenda J. Knollman (née Thorpe), 79, of Fort Wright, KY, passed away peacefully at her home on Friday, February 27, 2026, after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s. Brenda’s life was lived in devotion. For 59 years, she was the beloved wife and partner of Michael Knollman. Together, they built a life rooted in family and steadfast love. Brenda was a woman of remarkable grace, perhaps best defined by her lifelong dedication to her brother, Jack. Her selfless care for him was a testament to her compassionate spirit and was admired by all who knew her. She was the proud mother of Sean (Londa) Knollman, Robert (Kristin) Knollman, and Paige Knollman. Her role as "Grandma" to Pierce, Parker, and Peyton brought her immense joy, and she leaves them with a legacy of kindness. Brenda also leaves behind her faithful four-legged companion, Jake, who was never far from her side. She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Hattie Thorpe, and her brother, Jack.
