Brenda Orr Raynor

Brenda Orr Raynor, Age 54, died suddenly of a brain aneurysm on Saturday, April 30, 2016, at her home in Jupiter, FL. She was predeceased by her father, Thomas Orr, and brother, Michael Orr. She leaves behind her loving family, including her husband of 28 years, Scott Raynor, son Brett Raynor, mother Carole Orr, brother Jeff Orr and wife, Tawni, niece Brittney Orr, nephews Tyler, Dallas and Taylor Orr, and sister-in-law Debbie Orr, all of Jupiter. Additional survivors include sister-in-law Kathleen Raynor Burrell

(James) and niece Kelly Burrell of Silsbee, TX. Numerous aunts, uncles and cousins also survive.

Brenda was born in West Palm Beach, and except for a brief residence in Westhampton, L.I., where she met her husband, spent her entire life in Jupiter. She was a member of Jupiter High School’s Class of 1979. She attended the University of Florida and completed her education at what is now Palm Beach State College where she received her R.N. degree.

A few of Brenda’s many passions included, in no particular order: Music, Reading, Gator football and Panther hockey, Her Certified Florida Gardener status, The ocean, the Loxahatchee River and any other body of water, Environmental issues, Politics, Preparing and sharing her love of food, Her dogs, Crosby and Kiki, Marlboro Lights, Diagnostics and remedies, and most recently, home appliance repair and installation.

She was articulate, assertive, compassionate, spontaneous, intelligent, and always ready for an honest debate with a worthy opponent. She was our bus driver, our cruise director and our event planner.

Brenda is safe. We are lost.
