Brenda Campbell McCain

June 10, 2021 was a very special day. Brenda Campbell McClain gained her wings and was reunited with the love of her life, Kenneth Alan McClain.
She was born in Lyman, SC to the late Carroll and Hattie Mae Campbell. She had two brothers, Ricky and Stanley, who predeceased her. She spent the majority of her early life with her paternal grandmother, Fannie Campbell. If you could ask her though, she would say her life really began in 1961. That is the year she met the love of her life, Kenneth Allen McClain. They spent the next 40 years together until his untimely death in 2000. Not a single day has passed since that day that she did not miss him and long to be with him again. She never felt complete without him.
She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Tara McClain Loftis; her son, Christopher McClain; grandsons, Spencer Loftis, Will Loftis, Landon Loftis, and Kenny McClain, all of Greenville, SC; her granddaughter, Morgan Jean McClain; her brother-in-law, Gary McClain and wife Yvonne; cousin and lifelong friend, Betsy McClain and husband David; as well as other relatives. She will also be remembered with great love and respect by her other “son”, Eric Campbell of Greenville. He gave her the amazing gift of being able to live out her life in her own home by graciously caring for her for the past five years.
Per her request, there will not be a formal memorial service to celebrate her life. If you are reading this, you have already celebrated some part of her life with her. She would rather you spend the time uplifting someone else, perhaps doing something that you’ve always wanted to do for yourself but never took the time; visit someone you haven’t seen in a long time who needs to see you; forgive someone for something that you have held onto for far too long; but most of all, be kind. Life is too short to not love as much as you can.
