Throughout the years she worked as an administrative assistant for the Marion County Sheriff's office, 10th Judicial Probate Judge in Hannibal, MO and St. John's Hospice in Springfield, MO.
Brenda cherished her family and the fellowship of her friends. She enjoyed playing bridge, Mah Jongg, traveling, theater, Kansas City Symphony, music events and dancing.
Brenda had a wonderful smile that could light up a room. She will be missed for her pinch of humor, dash of sassiness and cup of fun!
