Brenda loved to crochet, read books, travel and was devoted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was always there when she was needed for everyone. She loved her family “to the moon and back.”
Born in Lethbridge but grew up in Raymond, Brenda worked as a data entry operator and also sold fitness equipment.
