Brenda Irene Dugan was born October 1, 1944, in Frederick, Oklahoma, to Lester Lee and Jessie “Wilsie” (Dickerson) Fillmore. She attended Davidson Public Schools graduating with the Class of 1962. One of her many accomplishments while attending Davidson High School was receiving the honor of being the 1961 Basketball Queen. Brenda was united in marriage to Elbert Bruce Dugan on July 14, 1962, at the First Baptist Church in Davidson, Oklahoma. Following the wedding, they moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma, where she attended Oklahoma State University. In 1966, Bruce and Brenda made the move to Garland, Texas. While living there their three children were born, Brent, Briana and Bridget. The family returned to Davidson in 1976 to manage the family farm. Brenda was briefly employed by the Davidson Coop Gin and Davidson Public Schools. She then worked for twenty years at the Tillman County Extension Service as the secretary until her retirement in 2006. She enjoyed gardening, spending time outdoors, being at the lake, painting, and antiquing. She loved cheering on the Dallas Cowboys and Oklahoma State Cowboys. Over the years, she had many dogs and loved them all. Most of all, she loved her kids, grands, and great-grands. Brenda was known as Bebo to her grands and great-grands and she never missed attending all the kids’ various activities, whether it was a livestock show or a sporting event. She was a member of the Davidson First Baptist Church.

She also leaves behind cherished nieces and nephews, and a wide circle of friends.

As Brenda would say … and that’s my story.
