Brenda Kay Callahan, 66, was born in Taylor County on June 21, 1960 to the late Robert and Onia (Hoos ier) Goode. She departed this life on Thursday, June 26, 2025 at her home in Campbellsville. 
 

She had made a profession of faith in Christ and was a member of Campbellsville Christian Church. During her infant years, her father, Mr. Goode, passed away. Her mother would later marry Mr. John Abell, and he would love her and raise her as his own. On February 22, 1980, Brenda married Michael Callahan, and they remained a devoted couple until his passing on September 25, 2016. She was always a kind hearted and gentle person and loved to laugh with friends both old and new. Her natural gift of gab served her well and will be dearly missed.
