Brenda’s legacy of love, faith, and selflessness will live on through all who knew and loved her.

Brenda enjoyed cooking, watching Days of Our Lives, listening to bluegrass gospel music and Conway Twitty, feeding birds, admiring flowers, and spending time outdoors. Above all, she loved her family and cherished every moment spent with them.

She leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Hope Hedgepeth (Seth), whom she loved as a daughter; Stephanie Sprinkle (Caleb); Christopher Bowman; Adam Bowman (Hailey); and Madison Stevenson (Brian). She was also blessed with a great-granddaughter, Enzly Stevenson, and looked forward to the arrival of her great-grandson, Brody Stevenson, expected in September 2026.
