Brenda Marie Blough

Brenda Marie Blough, age 77, of Beavercreek, formerly of Spotsylvania, Virginia, passed away on Thursday, September 17, 2026. Born on January 24, 1949, in Portsmouth, Virginia, she was the cherished daughter of Allen and Gladys McLean.

Brenda had a deep love for flower gardening, crafts, playing slot machines, and going to the beach for vacations, but her greatest joy came from spending time with her family. Known for her sweet sense of humor, stubbornness at times, and kind heart, she left a lasting impression on those who knew her.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Clifford "Buddy" Blough; her children, Barbara Krotendofer and Danny (Melissa) Blough; her grandchildren, Billy, Kim, and Christopher; and great-grandchildren, Kaylee, Michael, Adeline, Jordan, Levi, Betti, Violet, Lainey, and Julliana. She is also survived by her siblings, Steve, Debbie, Terri, and Tim, along with other extended family and friends. Brenda was preceded in death by her parents, Allen and Gladys McLean.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a tree be planted in her memory or donations be made to Hospice of Dayton, 324 Wilmington Ave., Dayton, OH, 45420.

A private family service will be held.

"When I must leave you for a

little while, please do not grieve

and shed wild tears and hug

your sorrow to you through the

years, but start out bravely with

a gallant smile; and for my sake

and in my name live on and do

all things the same. Feed not

your loneliness on empty days,

but fill each waking hour in

useful ways. Reach out your

hand in comfort and in cheer

and I in turn will comfort you

and hold you near; and never,

never be afraid to die, for I am

waiting for you in the sky!"
