On November 20, 1976, Brenda married the love of her life, Rick Sherrell, in Dallas, Texas. Together they built a life centered around love, family, and caring for others. She was a devoted wife, mother, Gigi, and her family was always her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment.
Brenda was a breast cancer survivor for 15 years, and she carried that journey with strength, courage, and faith. After her recovery, she had a special place in her heart for others battling breast cancer and was always willing to listen, encourage, and help anyone going through a difficult time. She truly loved helping others and was known for her kindness, compassion, and generous heart.
