My best friend, Misty, worked with Brenda at State Farm. I got to know her quickly. She was one of the sweetest, nicest people I have ever met. I know everyone who loved her is going to miss her dearly. Sending condolences for your loss.

My Aunt Brenda had the best laugh and even better hugs. They were a source of comfort and joy for all that knew her. As a child, Christmas was always exciting, but I eagerly awaited her turn to host, and it was truly magical. Her tree, with its enchanting decorations, and the beautifully wrapped presents that looked like they came straight out of a magazine, made the holiday season extra special. Yet, it wasn't just her impeccable taste (or handwriting!) that made these moments exceptional; it was Brenda's remarkable ability to make everyone feel cherished and significant.

She never missed a birthday or a special occasion, consistently demonstrating that we were loved and valued. This photo captures one of my favorite memories of my Daddy and his two sisters, as they laughed until they cried. It's a beautiful image of their special bond and the love they shared with each other. Brenda will be deeply missed, but her memory will continue to live on in our hearts.

Brenda worked for me for about 10 years and she brightened up the office just walking through the front door each morning! My customers absolutely loved Brenda as did my entire office! I am a Gamecock fan and as everyone else knows Brenda loved her Tigers! We would pick on one another as the big game neared. Brenda was always very sweet not to pick on me too much after we would lose, once again! I am so thankful for the many sweet memories I have of Brenda. She will be missed. Marty J.
