Brenda C. Scranta, 50, of Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, died Friday, February 26, 2010, at Geisinger Medical Center, Danville, PA, after a short illness.

Brenda excelled as an artist and musician. She went on to start her own successful hair salon, the Cutting Edge in Point Pleasant, WV. She was a devoted mother and a constant encourager. She worked as the office manager at Bernie's Auto Repair, Tunkhannock. She loved her cats, gardening, knitting and music. She was an avid baker and delighted many with her Christmas cookies each year.
