Brenda was setup on a blind date with her future husband, George Henline. Within weeks, they were engaged. George and Brenda were married and sealed for time and all eternity on May 19,1979 in the Cardston Alberta Temple. She moved to the Henline Ranch in Aden and worked side by side with George.

They are now blessed to have eight grandchildren and one soon to arrive. Brenda was involved in the community; Women's Institute, Rural Electric Association, 4-H, many history books, HAM radio operator and many other events.
