Brenda was always a child-at-heart. In her younger years she enjoyed many hobbies including square dancing, painting ceramics, and rollerskating. As a mom in Casco, Brenda volunteered as a Scout mom, Sunday School teacher, and spent the majority of her time cheering on her children. She loved mis-matched socks, snowman figurines, and family gatherings. In more recent years her primary focus was on spoiling her grandchildren and spending time with the biggest joy in her life, Ken, and their dear dog, Snowbabie.
