Brenda was born on March 19, 1959 in Ft. Worth, Texas, the daughter of William R. and Bobbie Davis.

After high school, Brenda attended Harding University where she became president of her social club, Ka Re Ta. She also attended Oklahoma Christian University, where she met Tim Layman. They married March 30, 1984.
Brenda loved being a postwoman and getting to drive the rural route. She also loved any job where she could work with children. Her hardest but most rewarding job was working at the Southern Christian Children's Home in Morrilton, Arkansas and the Fair Haven Children's Home in Strafford, Missouri as a foster parent.
Brenda loved reading, sending coloring pages to her grandchildren, driving around the countryside listening to music, talking to her children and grandchildren on the phone, and being out in nature admiring God's beautiful creation.
