Played drums at age 12 and received a worker's permit to travel on the road at 14 in a rock & roll band known as Brenda and the Nomads. Went to Washington High School but received GED at the Board of Education in 1968. Was always different from other girls and never wanted to give in to fads. Was a bit on the wild side and always lived to the beat of her own drum. Hated negativity and drama. Married many times but finally found love that lasted until cancer took his life after 20 years of marriage. Had 4 children, two boys, and two girls. Gave my first born up for adoption at age 17, and lost my 17 year old daughter to cancer. Now retired I started a pet sitting service for purpose in life and excepted Jesus as My Savior.
