She was born in Orange on August 17, 1948 to Joe and Myra Bergeron. Brenda was a native of Orange where she attended school in the Cove. She lived in Orangefield for most of her life and worked for many years in Orange. Brenda was also a self-taught seamstress and made beautiful handmade dresses including her daughter’s high school prom dress. In later years she was happy taking on both old and new adventures with her husband Billy. They were always together, gardening, fruit trees, raising chickens and rabbits, and tending to her dog, Rebel. Brenda loved being outside. They frequented flea markets and antiquing. She had just taken up fishing and caught her first fish only 2 years ago. Brenda was also a good cook, renowned for baking, including her “Famous Old-Fashioned Fudge.” Family was extremely important to her. She was a doting mother and grandmother and worked to pass on her wisdom and talents to the next generation. The grand daughters were often close in tow behind her gathering eggs, feeding rabbits and helping with yard work.

My beautiful mother is resting high on that mountain now. She has left this earthly place and is rejoicing in heaven with her mother and loved ones. I was there holding her hand as she passed from this world to the next. My mom was the most amazing human being I have ever been blessed to have in my life. She was my best friend, my confidant, my security, the very first person to fall in love with me and she always made me feel very, very special. I cannot even believe I am here at this time writing this and the grief has been unbearable. I love you mother. We will all miss you. Rest In Peace my angel. .. Your loving daughter Sherry
