Brenda will always be remembered by those that knew her best as a beautiful, caring, loving soul that loved to talk on the phone and laugh with family and friends for hours. Everyone who knew her loved her and could instantly feel the love she had for them as well. As much as Brenda loved her friends and family she loved children, planting in her garden, and canning fruits and vegetables.
