A former The Interior News community columnist has died.
Brenda Mallory wrote different columns for more than 30 years before calling it quits in 2021, citing health issues.
In her final column, Brenda said at the time that there is a time and place for everything and that is now and here.
“My health has slipped a bit,” she said last year. “My old hands have trouble responding to commands to get the words to you. Maybe at the top of the list why I leave my writing is my trouble figuring how and why the world is as it is.”

She also wrote a column called For the Birds for many years.
