At age 50—when many people might have convinced themselves that too much time had passed—Brenda made the courageous decision to return to college.
She stepped back into the classroom not as a traditional student just beginning adulthood, but as a woman with decades of life experience, responsibilities, and people depending upon her. Returning to school required determination, sacrifice, and the willingness to begin again at an age when beginning again can feel especially daunting. There were assignments to complete, exams to take, schedules to balance, and moments when the easier choice might have been to set the dream aside once more.
Brenda kept going.
She completed her degree and fulfilled her long-awaited dream of becoming a teacher, proving that purpose does not diminish with age and that a dream delayed is not necessarily a dream denied. Her journey became one of the most meaningful lessons she would ever teach: it is never too late to answer the calling placed upon your heart.
Brenda went on to spend more than 45 years serving in her local school system. Her love for children, learning, and encouragement became woven through every part of her life—and eventually through every story she would write.
Yet Brenda’s life is about much more than the milestones she has achieved. It is found in the people she loves and in the ordinary moments she continues to treasure.
She remains active in the Baptist Women’s Association and devoted to her Sunday school community. She delights in visits to the Clarkesville Library, where her lifelong love of reading continues, and in monthly game nights shared with friends.
Brenda shared 62 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Ken—a partnership that shaped her life in countless ways. She is the proud mother to her daughter, Karen, and continues to care lovingly for her 99-year-old sister. Her days remain rooted in faith, family, friendship, and the North Georgia community she has called home throughout her life.
In addition to her upcoming books, Brenda shares her voice as a contributor to the Unconditionally Her magazine, a publication dedicated to celebrating women’s stories, lived experiences, and the meaningful moments that shape our lives. Through her writing, she offers reflections, recipes, and personal stories rooted in faith, family, and everyday life—work that is meant to be read slowly, shared easily, and returned to over time. This partnership has become a meaningful part of Brenda’s current chapter, offering a space to connect with new readers while gently introducing the stories behind her Christmas Series Trilogy. She is deeply grateful for the encouragement and support she has received from so many women in this community, whose shared stories and strength continue to inspire her as she steps into this next season of writing.
About Brenda
A life shaped by faith, service, and a deep love for storytelling.
Long before Brenda Thurmond became a published children’s author at the age of 82, she was a little girl in North Georgia who loved books, stories, and the possibilities waiting inside the walls of her local library.
Words were always part of Brenda’s life. She wrote stories for children, prepared Sunday school lessons, and created original Christmas plays that were performed in churches over the years. At the time, she could not have known that the characters and messages born in those plays would one day find their way into three children’s books—and begin an entirely new chapter in her life.
But Brenda’s story has never been about taking the expected path. It is a story about holding on to a dream, even when life requires you to wait.
For years, Brenda carried a deeply personal dream of earning her college degree and becoming a teacher. Life, family, work, and responsibility came first, as they so often do. Yet the dream never left her.

Faith has always been at the center of Brenda’s life. A devoted member of Clarkesville Baptist Church, she has long shared her creativity through Sunday school lessons and Christmas plays written for churches over the years.
Those plays planted the seeds for what would eventually become Brenda’s Christmas Series Trilogy. The characters, lessons, and wonder first brought to life on church stages were lovingly reimagined as three children’s books. Filled with faith, warmth, kindness, and the gentle magic of Christmas, the stories reflect Brenda’s lifelong desire to teach, encourage, and help children see the beauty of giving and loving others.
At 82, Brenda became a published author—another dream realized in a life that beautifully demonstrates the power of perseverance. What began as Christmas plays written to be shared within church communities now has the opportunity to reach children and families far beyond them.
Brenda also shares her voice as a contributor to Unconditionally Her, a magazine dedicated to celebrating women’s stories, lived experiences, and the meaningful moments that shape our lives. Through reflections, recipes, and personal stories rooted in faith, family, and everyday life, Brenda writes from the wisdom of a life fully lived. Her work is meant to be read slowly, shared lovingly, and returned to over time.
This season of writing has allowed Brenda to connect with new readers while sharing the stories behind her Christmas Series Trilogy. She is deeply grateful for the encouragement she has received from the women and readers who have embraced her work and inspired her to continue.
Brenda’s journey—from a young girl who loved the library, to a 50-year-old college student pursuing a long-awaited dream, to a teacher, church playwright, and published author at 82—is a beautiful reminder that our stories are never finished simply because the years have passed.
Sometimes, the chapter we waited the longest to begin becomes the most extraordinary one of all.
