Brenda was born on May 15, 1948, in Abbeville, Louisiana. Brenda was a fabulous cook who showed her love for her family through the meals she prepared and the memories she created in her kitchen. She especially cherished caring for all the children in the family, lovingly keeping them in her home until they were old enough to start school. One of her special traditions was bringing her delicious Mandarin cake to family get-togethers, where it was always a treasured treat. Her wonderful cooking, generous heart, and love for her family will be fondly remembered and cherished for generations to come.

She is survived by her daughter, Michelle G. Landry and her husband Kent; her brother, Marty Benoit and his wife Janet; her grandchildren, Elliot C. Minvielle, Miles T. Minvielle and his wife Katie T. Minvielle, MD and Cierra Norwood. Her two great grandchildren Owen and Vance Dugas.

Brenda was preceded in death by her husband Wayne Francis Guillot; her parents, Reno Adam Benoit and Ethel Mae Delino Benoit; her son, Mark B. Guillot; her granddaughter, Monique F. Guillot; and her brother Randall Benoit.
