Brenda J. Faal was born to the late Lular M. Graham and Daniel L. Graham on August 27, 1956, in Andalusia, AL. She was the only child born to this union. Brenda soon became acquainted with her lifelong stepdad, Zollie Cowan, Jr., who she affectionally called "Daddy."

She received her education at the Covington County Training Center, Andalusia City School System and she attended the LBW Community College.

Brenda was a very loving, hardworking and outgoing individual — one who never met a stranger. She would greet you with a sincere, warm hello and a very big infectious smile which brighten the room. She loved the Lord and her family.

Her life and memory will be forever cherished by her loving and devoted husband: Lamin Faal of Andalusia, AL; One Son: Daniel (Rachel) Faal of Riverside, MO; Four Sisters: Betty Gantt, Brooklyn, NY, Dylene (Lynn) Brown, Andalusia, AL, Angelia (Joe) Samuel, Harvest, AL and Patricia (Walter) Johnson, Florence, AL; Two Brothers: Willie and Jerry Cowan, Andalusia, AL; Four Aunts: Thelma (Herbert) Daniels, Lena (Willie) Shakespeare, Louise Lawrence and Elizabeth McNeal; One Uncle: Johnny (Pam) Cowan and a loving host of nieces, nephews, family and friends who will miss her dearly.

She was preceded in death by parents, stepdad and both paternal and maternal grandparents.
