  1. Brenda always made you smile regardless of how she felt. She was always the life of the party. I will miss her most every time I hear "Deck the Halls" as I always greeted her as Brenda "Lalalalala La Lalala. RIP Brenda

    Brenda and I graduated from Vian High School together. I will always have fond memories of her laughter and caring heart.

  3. Brenda was a 20 year veteran of Metlife and one of the best Registered Principals in the annuity unit! She kept all of the agents in line with firmness but always with humor. We will miss her and we loved her with all of our hearts. Goodbye My Friend.

  4. Brenda was like a sister to me. I met her about 19 years ago and she was my neighbor at work. I miss her so very much, it just isn't the same without her. She was so witty and funny, not a day went by that we didn't share a laugh. I don't know why God took her away so early, but I know she is having fun up in heaven. RIP Brenda

    I am friends with Brenda's daughter, Crystal. In middle school, I spent a lot of time at their house. Brenda always treated me like a daughter and I will never forget her kindness and hospitality. She would make us girls laugh so hard we would want to hang out with her too! I will never forget hours of yahtzee or our mary kay party. I will miss her very much.
