It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Brenda Marguerite Lamb, who passed away peacefully on December 25, 2024 following a nearly two year battle with glioblastoma.
Brenda was a devoted daughter, sister, mother, and grand-maman who touched the lives of many with her kindness, wisdom, advocacy, infectious sense of humour, and artistic spirit and abilities. Her talent for mastering and imparting her knowledge of computer science and educational technology was undeniable, and her deep love of travel and adventure inspired those around her.
She is survived by her children David Knox (Jessica Benchimol) and Vanessa Lowe (Mitchel Lowe); cherished granddaughter, Zoë, and grandson, Grayson; her mother, Shirley Nolan Lamb; her siblings, Julie Anne Hughes (Richard Hughes) and Graham Lamb (Linda Williams). Auntie Brenda to Derek, Carolyn, Melissa, Jessica, Allison, Michael, and many great nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her aunt Dolores McIntyre and many cousins.
Predeceased by her father Robert Urquhart Lamb and her brother Robert (Bobby) Lamb (d Mary Ciarallo Lamb).
The family would like to extend special thanks to Dr. Hall, Dr. Owen, Dr. Abdulkarim, and the MNI’s Brain Tumour Clinic team, as well as the incredible team at Teresa Dellar. Your expertise, kindness, and unwavering commitment to maintaining Brenda’s comfort, quality of life, and dignity was truly remarkable. We are forever grateful for the support and care you provided to our entire family.
Brenda’s Celebration of Life will take place on January 10th at Voluntas Funeral Home, 4695 St-Jean Blvd., Dollard-des-Ormeaux, QC, H9H 2A7. Visitation from 10-11 a.m., followed by a service at 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, if you wish, donations may be made in Brenda’s name to the Montreal Neurological Institute, the Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Residence, or a charity of your choice.
Shine bright and we’ll see you on the other side. We love you always Mum, xo’s.

January 10, 2025 at 11:56 amWorking with Brenda was a breath of fresh air. She was always smiling, positive and loved to share her knowledge of IT with all. She made it simple and easy for us who were technically challenged. She will be missed by all who worked with her at JAC and may her star shine bright forever. My condolences to David and Vanessa especially, and to all her family. RIP Brenda.
