Brenda was born January 13, 1943, in Pike County, KY, to Russell and Emma (Whaley) Hager. She graduated from Belfry High School in 1962. On October 13, 1962, she married the love of her life, Winifred A. “Winnie” Hatfield in Michigan City, IN, making their home in the New Buffalo, MI area. Brenda was a woman of God and was very involved in her church at Full Gospel House of Deliverance where she taught Sunday School for many years. She was known for her life of selflessness and servitude, always there for anyone who needed it. Even through her sickness she never wavered in her faith, remaining steadfast, her life a testimony to Jesus.
