In 1974, she met the love of her life, Rory Miller, and they went on to wed in 1975. Brenda and Rory had two children, Sabrina and Tiffany.

Brenda was a devoted wife and mother who loved nothing more than being with her family. She spent her work days in the air and enjoyed her free time on the ground RVing and spending time at the family cabin in the Sierras. 

Brenda retired from United Airlines in 2015 after nearly 45 years in the air. While retired, she greatly enjoyed quality time with her family. She was passionate about her grandchildren, Savanna, Shyanne, Riley, and Claire. They lovingly referred to her as Momo.
