Mrs. Fielder was born in Dickson County on October 7, 1948, to the late James Noel Daniel and Sadie Dickson Daniel.
Brenda’s proudest and most cherished titles were “Mom” and “Nana.” Nothing in this world meant more to her than her family. It was her greatest joy and her biggest blessing. She believed deeply in the Lord, and her faith guided the way she selflessly loved, served, and cared for others every single day. She was devoted to her husband Donnie, her children and grandchildren and was always present showing up for activities, celebrations, and any moments that she could, simply to support the people she loved most.
Brenda also held a deep dedication to her beloved church family at Dickson Cumberland Presbyterian Church. A member there for over 40 years, she was always involved in serving wherever there was a need. She loved singing in the choir, helping with Vacation Bible School, coordinating events, participating in CPW activities, and playing cards with her friends.
She was a wonderful cook, especially known for her homemade kosher dill pickles, though anything she made was loved by all. She carried a true servant’s heart—always making sure everyone was fed, comfortable, and cared for. She also loved quilting and sewing, and many have been blessed over the years by the warmth and beauty of her quilts.
When those who know her best were asked about her favorite Bible verse, their response was, “The whole Bible is her favorite verse.” She especially loved Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” That promise shaped the way she lived—trusting God’s plan with quiet confidence, loving others with her whole heart, and leaving behind a legacy as beautiful as the faith she carried.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother: Mickey Daniel.
Survivors include her devoted husband of over 56 years, Donnie Fielder; her daughters: Amy Stringer (Kevin) of Burns, Tonya Spicer (Brent) of Thompson’s Station, and Andrea Hafner (JoDale) of Dickson; her brother: Lonnie Daniel (Judy) of Clarksville; her grandchildren: Lauren Stringer, Sydney Stringer, Brady Stringer, Madalyn Secula (Timothy), Daniel Spicer, Lydia Spicer, Saydie Hafner, and Dillon Hafner; and two great-grandchildren: Lexi Lampley and Russ Lampley.

I am so thankful to have known this precious lady. My last visit with her was last summer. When I think of her, I see her smile and hear her soft voice. She was truly the true example of a beautiful mom and friend. I know she will be missed by so many, and my own heart is hurting.
