Brenda lived in Cleburne her whole life. She was a loving and dedicated mother to Mandi and Taylor. Brenda treasured her children and embraced every moment with them.

Brenda was always welcoming; she made people around her feel extra special. Brenda was the best friend and listener. She would spend long nights talking to friends and helping them. She instilled strong core values of kindness, compassion, honesty, integrity, and respect for others.

Children in the Cleburne Independent School District were on the receiving end of her kindness and creativity as she served as a respected teaching assistant for over 20 years.
