Mrs. Brenda loved and played an influential role in the lives of countless children, in her community, whom she kept. She was an adored wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. Brenda was a cosmetologist by trade and also drove a school bus for many years, once again, touching the lives of countless children. In her spare time, she loved cooking meals for her family and church family. Brenda was a wonderful cook who always had room for anyone at her table. She enjoyed celebrating any occasion and always looked for an excuse to fill the home with fun energy. Her faith in God and love of family and friends were the cornerstones of her existence and her ever present compassion was the trademark of her life. She had the ability to make each person in her presence feel special. Mrs. Brenda was a faithful member of Macedonia Baptist Church for over 50 years.
