She was a former business owner and fitness trainer, but the title she treasured the most was Grandma Brenda.

Brenda was a loving, kind, and generous wife, mother, and friend. Someone who was always looking to help others. She deeply loved her family with her whole heart and soul, including all of her beautiful extended families; cousins, uncles, aunts, and her sweet Clay High School girlfriends. She loved everyone “to the moon and back”
