Brenda was raised in Waltham, Massachusetts and graduated from Waltham High. She attended Endicott College and received an Associate's Degree in Liberal arts. At a very young age (22) Brenda and her sisters opened a gift, furniture, and antique store The Cricket Shoppe and later called The Wagon Shed, that grew into a successful staple of the Billerica community. She owned and operated it for over 50 years.

Brenda was a vibrant woman with a multitude of hobbies and accomplishments. She was a pilot and an early pioneer of women's rights. She flew her little red plane all over the country. She also traveled the world, visiting many countries.

Brenda was happiest when working in her garden and surrounded by the many animals she's loved, her pet pigs, peacocks, chickens, and her black pomeranians. She could often be seen talking to the crows and giving them names.

Brenda was also active within her local congregation. She attended Bible study twice a week and rarely missed a service. She was very generous and quick to help out when someone was in need.

The family is planning a graveside service and celebration of life in Chelmsford Massachusetts and will contact friends and family when details are finalized.
