Brenda loved the Lord and enjoyed sharing her faith and singing hymns and gospel music. She enjoyed the church services and gospel singing that were held at the nursing home that were put on by area churches. She always had request for her favorite songs and if they didn’t know them, she would lead as she knew them all by heart.
She also enjoyed going to music parties in Ozark County in which her dad would play and sing. She would either join in with the music or play a game of pitch with her mom and friends. She loved her bling jewelry, the bigger the better! She also loved to play bingo, stuffed animals and dolls. She was never without a bottle of yahoo or a Mountain Dew.
Brenda never knew a stranger and if she didn’t know them, she would introduce herself and normally find a common link with them.

The family would like to thank Riverview Nursing home for their care in which Brenda was a resident for many years.
