A Memorial Service will be held at 1PM, Saturday, February 07, 2026, at Proctor's Mortuary 3522 Washington Blvd. Beaumont, TX.

Brenda Faye Scott-Murphy was born on October 19, 1951, to the late Wilkie J. Scott, Sr. and Johnnie Mae Scott-Henderson.

On January 20, 2026, at the age of 74, Brenda was called home to rest in her heavenly home.

Brenda was a native of Beaumont, Texas, where she was educated in the Beaumont Independent School District. She graduated from Hebert High School with the Class of 1970 and proudly served as a member of the High-Stepping Rhythm Steppers Drill Team.

At an early age, Brenda accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and was baptized at Pleasant Green Baptist Church.

Brenda loved her family unconditionally and wholeheartedly—especially her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was known for her witty humor, her straightforward, no-nonsense attitude, and her unapologetic way of living life. Brenda was often the life of the party and never missed an opportunity to dance wherever there was music.

Brenda was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Murphy, Sr.; her parents, Johnnie Mae Scott-Henderson and Wilkie J. Scott, Sr.; her sister, Joyce Scott; and her grandson, Xay'Vion Joseph Murphy.

Brenda's love and cherished memories will forever remain in the hearts of her:
