Brenda also was a partner in FMCI (a marketing research and executive seminar firm) serving local and international businesses and governmental entities. For example, Brenda conducted executive marketing seminars in Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand, Canada, and Hong Kong. Brenda leaves her loving husband, Robert Fletcher, her daughter Sue (Huver) Neilson, husband Danny and grandson Nicholas; also her step-daughter Melissa "Melle" Richardson, and grandsons Hunter, Dane and Gavin; and step-daughter Lisa Mullins, husband James, granddaughter Jessica Noel, and grandson "Mac".
