Brenda was born May 21, 1948 in Galax, Virginia to Arnold and Ida Burcham. She graduated from high school there and developed a love for nature and animals, especially horses. It was there Brenda met and married Robert Gartlan and then moved to the Dothan area where she raised her sons Patrick and Aaron.

Having a big heart for people, Brenda received certifications and training working as a respiratory technician and medical assistant. In 1983, she married Dr. George Grimsley and later became the office manager and chiropractic assistant for Grimsley Chiropractic where she enjoyed comforting their patients.
