Brenda attended Longwood College where she majored in Art and was a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority. She married Wilmer Goff (Wil) on August 22, 1964. After residing in Richmond, Lancaster, PA and Petersburg, Brenda and her family moved to Roanoke, VA in 1973.

Brenda was President of the Hunting Hills Garden Club. Brenda’s family returned to Richmond-Petersburg in 1990 where she held a supervisory position in the Customer Service Branch of the US Internal Revenue Service. Brenda was always quick to point out that the customer service personnel were the “good guys in the IRS”. Upon her retirement, Brenda and Wil moved to the coast of NC and purchased a home on the Calabash River in Sunset Beach. Bree (as she became known) was an award winning artist and an active member in the “Art Matters” pastel group. Her paintings are on display at the Sunset River Marketplace Art Gallery in Calabash, NC. She is survived by her mother – Gloria S. Brown; sister – Anita Nelson; Husband – Wilmer Goff; Son – David Goff; Daughter Kelsey Goff Mallory; Son-in-Law – Kevin Mallory; Grandson - Gabriel Goff; and Granddaughter – Isabel Goff. Bree made friends wherever she lived and her untimely passing after recently celebrating her 50th Wedding Anniversary leaves an unfillable void in many lives. Brenda will live in our hearts forever!
