Brenda was born on November 5, 1950 in Fort Worth to Bennie and Bettye Daniels. She graduated from Richland High School in 1968 where she loved being in the Drama Department and performing as a member and Lieutenant of the Dixie Belles Drill Team. Next, she attended Tarrant County Jr. College where she received an Associates of Arts Degree in Computer Science.
When she was in the very first grade, she met her future husband, Randy Moran. They started dating at age 15 when they were sophomores at Richland High School. They married at age 19 on August 21, 1970. They moved to Houston where she put him through Dental School. In 1974, they moved back to the Metroplex to open a Dental practice and raise a family. They had two wonderful sons, Lance and Cliff, of whom she was so proud of. Probably her greatest joy in life was being Nana or Nana B to her five grandchildren, J.T., Jordan, Hannah, Quinn, and Rogan. She also had a special bond with her sister, Beckye. They enjoyed shopping, going on girl trips and talking together on the phone almost daily. Also, besides being a full time housewife and mother, she also worked in her husband's Dental office at the front desk and office manager for over thirty-four years.
Her hobbies and interests included dancing, traveling, going to the movies and Broadway Musicals, crafts, and scrapbooking. Her greatest passion was her love of all things Disney. She absolutely loved going to Disney Land and Disney World with family and friends. In 1990, she began working (she looked at it as more fun than work) at the opening of the very first Disney store in the Metroplex at the North Park Mall in Dallas, and then continued to work at various mall locations throughout North Texas for fifteen years. Also, she was a huge collector of over several thousand items of Disney Memorabilia. She loved life, she loved to laugh and she had the most beautiful, radiant smile. She had many friends around the world and she will be dearly missed.
Brenda was preceded in death by her father and mother, Bennie and Bettye Daniels.
Survivors: Husband, Randy Moran; sons, Lance Moran and his wife, Dora and Cliff Moran and his wife Kelleen; five grandchildren, J.T., Jordan, Hannah, Quinn, and Rogan; her sister, Beckye; and a host of aunts, uncles, brother and sister-in-laws, cousins, nephews, niece's and other extended family members.
