Brenda Payne Moorman

Brenda Lee Payne Moorman, 63, departed this life unexpectedly on April 2, 2025, at her home in Lynchburg, VA. Born in Franklin County, VA on January 24,1962, she was the daughter of the late Jean Tolley.

Brenda loved playing cards, bingo and fishing. If you knew her, no one was a stranger to her and she could talk to you about anything and everything. Out of all that, nothing beat the love that she had for the Dallas Cowboys.

She leaves to cherish her precious memory, 2 children, Crystal (Jeremy), and James Moorman Sr; 3 grandchildren, Serenity J, Sincerity J, and James Moorman Jr; and one grandchild on the way whom she didn’t get the chance to meet yet, named A’Kari. She is also survived by her siblings; Doris Marie Payne Daw, Margie, Wayne, Robert Payne, and Kenneth Tolley; along with a very loving and special friend of many years, Sara (Sue) Whitehead.

“They say I look like you, I hear it all the time, I look at the pictures and I can see it too. But what about everything else, all I have is a picture to put next to mine, one of the few because we can’t take anymore. I’ll never get to joke with you and hear that I’m funny like you, or cry with you and hear that we have the same heart. My heart is half you, all I have to show are the pictures. So I will put our pictures side by side, the ones of you then and me now and hear, you look like her.”

Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory, Lynchburg is assisting the family.
