Brenda grew up in Joliet, IL and soon after that, she relocated to Kankakee, IL, with the love of her life, Henry Sherman Sr., a town she loved and never left until her untimely departure. Although Brenda held many roles in her life, her favorite was being a loving wife, and a phenomenal mother to her Sherman 5, and extraordinary grandmother. Her hobbies were getting her nails done, playing coin master, watching good TV shows and movies, with a glass of wine; and most of all, spending time with her family, who loved her dearly.
