Brenda was in the Who's Who- National honor society for straight A's in college and earned this accolade while attending Northern Illinois State University for a degree in teaching and completed 3.5 years. Marine jet engine mechanic, was stationed in San Diego and South Carolina. An avid reader and at a time she would read a book per day or more. Loved to volunteer in nursing homes, Meals on Wheels, and managed a free clothing store that assisted in helping those in need. Always wanted to help and to give to those less fortunate and in need and would rather give something away if it would help another person than to sell it. She was generous to a fault and very kind and caring.
Brenda loved nothing more than
to travel, spend time with her animals and love up her Grandkids.
Favorite place in the world
Brenda really enjoyed Washington state and all of its beauty, but probably her favorite place would be anywhere with her loving husband.
