Brenda L. (Walton) Knuckles

64, of Camden, passed away Wednesday, December 31, 2025.

She was born April 26, 1961, in Hamilton, to the late Jim G. Walton, Sr. and Hattie L. (Withrow) Begley.

In addition to her parents, Brenda was preceded in death by her stepdad, Lee Begley; stepmom, Shirley Walton; and brothers, Ricky Begley and Roy Walton.

She is survived by her sons, Gary (Sheena) Walton and Eric (Katrina) Walton; 6 grandchildren, Madeline, Lily, Shawn, Sierra, Dillon, and Aleah; siblings, Jimmy and Pam, Sherman and Jennifer, Larry and Naomi, Debbie and Len, Rodney and Angel, Shane, Johnboy and Shelly, Lisa and Robbie, and Missy; and nieces, nephews, family, and friends.

In her younger years, Brenda fully embraced life’s joys. She loved dancing at clubs, laughing with friends, and having a good time wherever she went. Music moved her spirit, and the dance floor was where her joyful personality truly shined. Those nights were filled with movement, smiles, and memories that would be fondly remembered by all who shared them with her.

Brenda’s life was marked by her zest for living and her willingness to help others along the way. She reminded everyone around her to enjoy the moment, to laugh freely, and to live life with intention and heart. Her legacy is one of joy, connection, and a reminder that life is meant to be lived fully.

Above all else, Brenda cherished her family. Time spent with her loved ones brought her the greatest joy, and she treasured every moment shared together. Her warmth, lively personality, and love for life left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

A visitation will be held Monday, January 5 from 4PM to 7PM at BALES FUNERAL HOME, Camden.
