They were married in September of 1968 and she completed courses in cosmetology school to become a hairdresser. She had a shop in the back of their house where she welcomed all of her customers. Brenda was also employed at Somerville Bank & Trust and with Mark Ward in the Fayette County Property Assessor’s Office before her retirement.

Mrs. Jordan was a member of First Baptist Church of Somerville. She was very involved in her daughters and grandchildren’s lives, whether it was being a camp counselor, going on band trips, church, school or sporting events. Brenda enjoyed shopping, working in her flowerbeds, going on several “sister trips” along with their spouses and the friendships she made while playing with her Bunco group.
