Brenda Lee Sullivan

Brenda Lee Sullivan was born on October 11, 1966 in Albuquerque, NM to Richard “Dickey” and Judy Grove. She was raised in Amarillo, where she attended schools. Known for her Rocky Mountain jeans and make-up on point, Brenda always lit up a room. She was the type of friend, mother and sister to have your back in all situations. Affectionately referred to as “Nana Banana” “Lou” and “Aunt Binkie” by her family, Brenda loved nothing more than cooking, celebrating and spending time with her family. She was creative and enjoyed crafting and collecting Southwest décor. She will be missed for her infectious smile and huge heart.
