Best known as Dubby, Gram, Benna and Ma. Brenda was the ultimate to all the kids. She never said no to a game of Ms. Pac Man, Dominoes or Skip-Bo. She was an avid kite flier and she also enjoyed eating vanilla ice cream and drinking Pepsi around the clock. She was a jack-of-all trades, master carpenter and professional gambler. Her Sunday night dinners were always a family favorite. If holding babies were a profession, she’d be a billionaire. TBN, Laurel and Hardy, or Gunsmoke were always on her TV. Her sense of humor was phenomenal. Brenda and her mom were thick as thieves but her daddy was her hero. Family was always first and foremost for her but her animals were a very close second. Poodles Darla Mae and Baby and then later chihuahuas Skinny and King were her world. They were fed home cooked meals same as her family.
