Brenda dedicated her life to caring for her family and her home and always serving the people she loved. Brenda and Frank would often host the kid’s birthday parties, graduation parties, or just a Sunday-Funday at their pool. Her and Frank would often cook together and would host barbeque cookouts for their loved ones. Brenda’s family remembers her love for Coca-Cola products and the matching décor throughout her home.

She enjoyed camping at Mill Creek, spending time with her girls at the Orange Boat Club, going to bike rallies, and having a cold Miller Lite. Brenda loved Mardi Gras and her and Frank would host Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings for their family. Brenda adored her grandkids, nieces, and nephews.
