Brenda Carole Way Tooley was born on September 23, 1945 in Snyder, Texas to Wynama and Jack Way. Brenda married the love of her life Teddy Tooley, in June of 1968. Brenda and Teddy lived in Kerrville, Texas where they raised their children Rich and Shana. Brenda's love of music and singing enabled her to be a part of her community and church.
