She is also survived by nine grandchildren, Daniel and Edward Kelso of Wetaug, Ill., Codi Bridges, Elijah Smith and Katheryn Barfield of Okawville,, Ill., Mariah Kerley of Cobden Ill., and Jena Dawn, David Wayne and Nathan Michael of Mt. Vernon, Ill.

Brenda had worked as a CNA for 24 years. She loved helping the elderly and anyone else that she could. She liked to “adopt” kids and grandkids as her own. She loved her flowers and researching family history.
Brenda fought as long as she could but the Lord needed a new angel, so she left this world. Now, she can listen to her favorite bird, the whippoorwill, every night.
