Brenda was born on March 26th, 1951 in Benton, Arkansas to Ernestine and William Carroll Chenault. She graduated from Bryan Adams High School in 1969. She married Mike Kelley March 6th, 2002 and resided in Clarksville for the last 15 years. She was an entrepreneur and owner of 70 East Liquor in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and a long time employee of Kroger Company as Seafood Manager at both Central Avenue and Airport Road locations for over 15 years.
