      Brenda G. Miller

      April 28, 2026

      Brenda G. Miller, of Moyock, North Carolina, passed away on April 28th at the age of 72.

      Brenda was born on June 28, 1953, in Bessemer, Alabama to Howard and Betty Ruth McDougal. She was raised in a close-knit family and carried that deep sense of connection with her throughout her life. She later made her home in Moyock, where she became known for her caring heart and her willingness to help anyone in need. Brenda loved the Lord, and she loved her family, and both were evident in the way she lived each day.

      She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She is survived by her children, Ronnie (Tyffany) and Wendy (David); her grandchildren, Evelyn, Ryan, Issac, Taylor, Emilee, Chaz, Izzy, Kam, and Hayden; and her great-grandchild, Brian.

      Brenda is also survived by her siblings: Betty (Bob), Glenda (Dave), Marvin (Loretta), and Kenny (Vicky); sister-in-law, Mary; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members who loved her dearly.

      She was preceded in death by her parents, Howard and Betty Ruth McDougal; her brother, Tim; and her son, Brian Allen.

      Brenda found joy in the everyday moments of life, especially when they were shared with the people she loved. Whether she was cooking for a house full of family, volunteering at her church or the local food bank, or simply sitting with her morning coffee by the window, she had a way of making people feel welcomed, cared for, and at home. Her faith in Jesus Christ was the foundation of her life, and it was seen clearly in the love and kindness she extended to others.

      She will be deeply missed, but her life leaves behind a legacy of love that will continue to shape her family and all who knew her.

      A service to celebrate Brenda’s life will be held on May 8, 2026 at 3:00 PM at Mission Church, 100 Ranchland Dr, Moyock, NC 27958. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to help with the funeral costs at https://gofund.me/ff1c967b5.

        OUR HISTORY

        The Nags Head Chapel and Company Headquarters

        Nags Head Chapel

        Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. was founded in Nags Head, NC in 2006 by licensed North Carolina Funeral Director Courtney N. Gallop. This independent, minority and woman-owned start-up funeral home challenged the existing monopoly firm which had sole control of all funeral care, goods, and services provided in Manteo, the Outer Banks, and Currituck County for nearly 100 years.

        Finally - someone brought competition into the local funeral industry. As a direct result of Gallop Funeral Services, Inc., local families now have choices, options, alternatives, fairer pricing, flexibility, and a higher level of service in funeral care for their loved ones.

        The Barco Memorial Chapel - Currituck

        Barco Chapel

        In 2016, Gallop Memorial Chapel was opened in Barco, NC. The spacious, newly remodeled facility is the first and only funeral service-related business ever to locate in Currituck County. The Barco Gallop Memorial Chapel is conveniently located near the Outer Banks, Moyock and Elizabeth City. The elegant yet relaxing chapel interior is welcoming and comfortable for viewings, family gatherings, funerals, and memorial services. Our Barco chapel is perfectly equipped to serve all faiths and families in the county.

        Courtney Gallop and the staff at Gallop Funeral Services, Inc. are committed to excellence. We continue to improve, grow, invest, and learn in order to provide the highest level of service for all families entrusted to our care.

        Capital Crematory

        Capital Crematory

        In 2011, we built and established Capital Crematory, the first and only crematory ever in Dare County. The crematory supports Gallop Funeral Services and also provides professional cremation services for other funeral homes in the Albemarle area. Having our own local crematory means your loved one's cremation will be handled personally by owners of the funeral home, 100% locally, quickly, and at the best pricing.
