Brenda was born October 19, 1956 in Bottineau, ND to Paul and Sylvia (Poitra) Davis. Raised and educated throughout ND, she graduated from Columbus High School in 1974. As a young girl she especially enjoyed spending time with her grandparents and baking her grandpa raisin filled cookies. Hardworking and always willing to help, Brenda worked numerous jobs in her life. A wonderful and dedicated mother, she was always there for her girls and never missed an event they were in.
