Brenda Kaye Temples' Obituary
Brenda Kaye Temples, born on March 14, 1963, passed away peacefully on January 6, 2025. A lifelong Floridian, Brenda brought warmth and joy to all who knew her. Brenda was the beloved daughter of Edward and Charlotte Faircloth, who preceded her in death. She is lovingly remembered by her siblings: Debra (Hollis) Cox, David Faircloth, and Lisa Brown. She was also predeceased by her brother Eddie Faircloth. Brenda’s greatest pride and joy were her children: Danny (Nicole) Temples, Bridgett “Nickie” (David) Akins, and Ashley (John Jr. “JB”) Samsal. Her love extended to her cherished grandchildren: Anthony Temples; David (DJ) Akins Jr.; Nevaeh Akins; Serenity (Titi) Akins; Draven Samsal; and October (Baby O) Samsal. For over 20 years, Brenda worked at Disney World, where she contributed to creating magical experiences for countless visitors. Outside of work, she found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. She loved going to the beach, fishing, kayaking, hiking, photography, football, and NASCAR—earning the affectionate nickname "NASCAR Nanna" from those closest to her. Brenda’s adventurous spirit and love for nature were matched only by her devotion to family. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who shared in her laughter and felt the warmth of her presence. May Brenda’s legacy of love and joy bring comfort to all who knew. We would like to invite all her family and friends to please join us on March 14th, 2025, at her residence in Auburndale FL. for a Celebration of life from 4PM - 6PM
