Shortly after graduation, she attended Bucks County Community College taking courses in the Medical field. Adding to her responsibilities, Brenda chose to marry and began starting a family. Her first son came in the fall of 1965, Joseph (Joe) Devont Williamson who she had the misfortune of losing to death just weeks prior to her passing. Her second son, Joseph Michael Williamson was lost tragically at birth. Her third son James Cedric Samuel Williamson came shortly after Joe in the fall of 1967.

A few years later in 1971, a daughter was born, Kenya Dieja Williamson. During the 70s' Brenda came in contact with one of Jehovah's Witnesses while at work and she was moved to start studying. She then was introduced to a next-door neighbor while living in Levittown PA. Pat Gilchrist, the two continued Brenda's study and stayed friends for decades, both growing personally and spiritually. Brenda eventually dedicated her life to Jehovah on the same day as her son James on November 25th 2000 at Buckingham Assembly Hall in Buckingham PA.

Brenda became a proud grandmother for the first time by way of her son James and his beautiful wife Molly on March 31 1997, Margaux was born and then again on August 13 2000, Seth came into the world.
