Brenda liked to party, hangout and have fun with her family and friends. It wasn't a weekend that you wouldn't find some combination of the four Brenda, Puddin, Bunnie or Bernice. She had her favorite person to talk to, get advice from and hangout with who was like a brother but was her uncle, Joseph Keaton "JOE". She loved to cook and entertain.
