Brenda Joyce Birkhimer passed away on February 21, 2020. She was born and raised in Alabama until the age of 18. Brenda also lived in California before settling in Arizona where she lived in her home for 40 years.
Family was always important and she showed this by the loving care she gave her sister, Gail, who lived in Washington. Brenda would fly every two weeks to be with Gail who eventually passed at the young age of 52 after fighting cancer for 5 years. She always put the needs of her family and friends before her own.
Also, her dogs (Rosha, Vessa, Chong, and Brodeoux) were her children. Her service dog, Acro, is fighting cancer.
Brenda's siblings are Nancy Ervin, Clyde Johnson, Faye Miller, Gail Stief, Paul Johnson, Sandra Johnson, Joey Johnson, and James Johnson.
