Brenda dedicated herself to her career as a long-time cook for Hyden Health & Rehab with heartfelt service. Her selflessness and willingness to help others in need were great traits of her personality that was obvious to everyone she met.

A graduate of Miami High School, Brenda found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved to visit family and cherished every moment spent with them.

In her free time, Brenda enjoyed porch sitting and visiting with her dear friends Edna Conrad and Loretta Perry. She had a passion for classic rock music, riding motorcycles, and spending time on the lake. This was her favorite place to be.
