Brenda was born February 6, 1949 in Forrest City, Arkansas to parents C.L. and Francis A. Casey. She would later cheerlead at a local ballfield as a teenager and before the evening was over little did she know at the time but she would marry and spend the next 54 years with a young man named Lonny Sharpe whom she met during the game and went on a blind date after the game. Brenda, known by her family and most others as Honey, spent her adult years loving and caring for their own family and was very active in their children's youth sports, especially softball. Brenda was a long time organizer of the Marion Girls ASA Softball League along with the local Jaycees with her 25 year devotion to the Miss Marion Beauty Pageant. Most of all though, Brenda was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother.
