Brenda was a kind and loving mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and friend to many. She did have a spunky and silly side. She grew up in a Christian home where they attended church just about every time the door was open. She and all her siblings maintained a strong relationship with God. Brenda had a hard time reading the bible to understand it for it’s meaning, but she very much connected with our Lord through Gospel music. She especially connected with Gaither’s music.
Brenda Worked several places throughout her life but her work in the health care industry was where she felt the most rewarded. She treated all her patients like family. She started as a Nurses Aid at Sparks hospital in Fort Smith, Arkansas. After moving to Florida, she eventually went to work for Bethesda Hospital in Boynton Beach, Florida. She retired after nearly 30 years of service first as a nurse’s aide then in the pharmacy delivering meds throughout the hospital.
