On June 6, 1970, she was united in marriage to James (Jim) Ault at the Medora Christian Church. From this union of 51 years, they were blessed with two daughters, Michelle and Natalie.

Brenda was a devoted wife, loving mother and Grammy. Brenda had a social loving soul, she loved to cook big meals for her family and friends. If she wasn’t cooking for them, she was going out on dinner dates with them. She loved her retail therapy. She could shop until she dropped. On the pretty days, Brenda and Jim would go on mini road trips in their convertible. Brenda loved to travel the world and enjoyed her trips to Florida to see Pinocchio at Walt Disney World.

She served as treasurer of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Leesville. Brenda also served on the Farm Bureau Board for many years along side of her husband Jim.
