Shirley Rosa Gene Britt Goldhorn was born on April 25, 1940, in Dillon County, SC, the daughter of Sanford and Rosella (Tucker) Britt.  She graduated from Central High School in Charlotte, NC, in 1958 and worked as a nurse's aide.  She was united in marriage to Terry Goldhorn on September 17, 1962, in Castlewood, SD.  She dedicated her time to raising their three sons, Jay T., Lee, and Bret.  Along with raising their children, Brenda held various jobs throughout her life, including Esco Sign Display, Medallion Mobile Homes, Castlewood School District, and a Home Health Technician for Inter-Lakes Community Action Partnership.  She also obtained her Automotive Service Technician degree.

Brenda was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.  She was an avid gardener and often canned her produce to share with others.  She also enjoyed sewing, playing Bingo, lottery tickets, and working on puzzles.  She was an excellent cook and often made meals for her family which reflected her southern roots.  Grandma Brenda loved spending time with her grandchildren and family.  She also adored her dog, Rosa, and many other pets over the years.
