She is the bearer of Parkinson’s disease, a survivor of breast cancer, and a caretaker of her elderly father (now deceased). In spite of these challenges, Brenda is a nurse and a Sunday school teacher, but foremost a mother and a child of God.

      Brenda was born in Leitchfield, Kentucky. She grew up on a farm and attended the local Baptist church. Elementary school was attended in Shrewsbury, in a four-room school house. After graduating nursing school, she started work at the Grayson County War Memorial Hospital, where she met her future husband.
