Brenda K. Tatum, 66, of Tipton, died Sunday, Jan. 23, 2022, at Riverview Hospital in Noblesville. She was born in Gideon, Miss., on June 25, 1955, to Shirley and Gracie (McCool) Thurston. She enjoyed 33 years of marriage with her husband, John Tatum.
Brenda was a hard worker. She completed her CNA training and began working in several nursing facilities over the years. She has also worked for several factory businesses prior to becoming a stay-at-home wife in 2004. Summers would find her enjoying the atmosphere at Silver Lake fishing, boating and just “hanging out.” Brenda enjoyed dining out and attending the outdoor concerts with her friends at the park in Warsaw. She was well liked and never met a stranger.
