Blenda Louise (Brigham) Berndt was born January 8, 1907 at the family home near Tamora, Nebraska to Byron Dean and Ruth Amy (Kinnamon) Brigham and passed away on January 13, 2007 in Seward, Nebraska at the age of 100 years, 5 days. Blenda was the eldest of nine children in her family, she attended school in Tamora and her last 2 years of high school in Goehner where she graduated.
