Brenda Darlene was born on March 2, 1944 to Oliver Kenneth and Alma Ferguson in Blanchard, Oklahoma. Brenda was the third child born to Kenneth and Alma, following Sharon Kay and Kenneth Richard.

Brenda’s one true love, her son Troy Anthony was born in December of 1963 to Brenda and Danny Clanton. Brenda was a dedicated mother first and foremost and her love grew in bounds as she watched her family grow by 4 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Known to her family as Mother, Mama, and Grandma, she made a special bond, as her love was personal and beautiful with each of her kids.

She spent her retirement assisting her mother until she passed in 2010 and then every opportunity with her son and grandchildren even moving to Texas in 2015 to be closer to them. During her final days Brenda’s last words were to her son when she replied to him, “oh son, I love you too”, her last time to open her eyes were to her son when he wished her a Happy Mother’s Day. And on the morning of May 16th, Brenda Darlene Clanton went peacefully to be with the Lord surrounded by her family whether in presence, prayers and love. It was beautiful ending to a beautiful life.
