Brenda Sue Fite Little, 82, of Benton, Arkansas passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on February 5, 2026. Brenda was born on March 19, 1943, in Carthage, Arkansas to Jeff and Maude Wilson Fite.

Brenda married the love of her life, Marion Wallce Little on June 12, 1964, in Jones Mill, Arkansas. They shared 58 years of marriage before his passing in 2022. Though she carried on with strength, those closest to her knew how deeply she missed him.

Brenda was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and mother-in-law whose greatest joy was her family. She rarely missed a school program or sporting event and was often found cheering from the stands or sidelines at golf matches and baseball, softball and volleyball games over the years. Her steady presence, encouragement and love were felt at every milestone, big or small - simply because Granny Brenda always showed up.

She enjoyed a brief career outside the home, but her deep love for her family fortunately drew her back to where her heart truly belonged—caring for her home and those she loved most.

Brenda was preceded in death by her husband Marion Little, her parents Jeff and Maude Fite, her siblings, Don Fite, Clenton Fite, Kniel Fite, Bonnie Fite, Alene Bailey, Corine Davidson, Evelyn Marshall, Velma Shaneyfelt, Winnie Russell and Barbara Edgin and granddaughter, Rachel Estell.

She leaves behind a family who meant everything to her, including her beloved children, Steve and Mary Beth, Dennis, Lorrie, Karen and Rick and Greg and Holley. Treasured grandchildren and great grandchildren, Matt and Laura, Michael and Erica, Zachery, Kaleigh, Cooper, Brendan, Molly, Olivia, Callie, Cadence, Maddison, Bennett and Sawyer all of whom were the pride and joy of her life.

Visitation will be held on Monday, February 9, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. at Ashby Funeral Home in Benton, Arkansas.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Roundhill Cemetery Association, P. O. Box 1226, Malvern, AR 72104.
