Born near the Keowee River, she was a daughter to the late William Talton Alexander and Mittie Crenshaw Alexander. She grew up, as one of 11 children, learning to work hard, enjoy the love of family, and to care for others as a true friend.
She was a 1965 graduate of Daniel High School. Brenice worked and enjoyed her time at Duke Power, where she was employed for more than 30 years, earning many lifelong friends.
Brenice was a member of Shady Grove Baptist Church and loved spending time with her granddaughter, who lovingly named her B. She also enjoyed working in her yard, tending to her plants, and taking care of her dogs. She enjoyed keeping in touch with family, friends, and neighbors.
