My aunt taught me so much growing up. She took me to my first drive in movie. We saw 7 brides for 7 brothers. She took me and my sisters and cousins riding in town when that was a big thing to do. She knew absolutely everyone it seemed. And everyone liked her.
Brenda was, is, and always will be the most approachable fun-loving person I will know.
Brenda was so good with kids, always teaching and guiding them the best way she knew. The FUN way.
She taught me so many things throughout my life. And I could tell you a lot of funny stories. But I’m sure everyone who knew her has their own stories.
