She also worked alongside her husband and his company, Jim Christy Construction. She enjoyed worship and fellowship at Park Lane Church of the Nazarene, where she was a member.
Brenda was diagnosed with dementia 12 years ago and suffered though the terrible disease. Through her suffering, she was a survivor, and she was able to be an active partner up to her final days. Although she was unable to communicate with her husband, she knew she was loved and that was very vital in her long-lasting. She also received love and care from her care giver, Betty Ann Groves for over 4 years. The family would like to thank the Tennova Hospice care team for their special help in Brenda’s final days.
