Brenda loved farm life, especially canning vegetables from her garden, planting beautiful flowers, and feeding and admiring birds.  She is also remembered by family as a fierce protector of her husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.  She loved nothing more than being with them to laugh and enjoy each other's company.  She loved to read and she truly enjoyed life to the fullest.  She was a member of Macedonia Baptist Church when she was able to attend.  Brenda will be very missed by the ones she loved and who love her.
