Brenda was a Christian, she was a member of Bradford Baptist Church. She loved the Lord and loved attending church as long as she was physically able. Brenda would tell you the gift of salvation was the most wonderful gift she ever received and she believed in the power of prayer.
Brenda loved her family and she loved children. If you were ever lucky enough to have Brenda babysit your child, then you and your child were blessed by a woman who was able to love all children as her own.
Brenda had worked at Pace Industries in Russell, Arkansas and G.I. in Bald Knob, Arkansas, also as a waitress. Brenda loved being around people and was a hard worker until she became disabled.
