Brenda was born Brenda Fountain, at Tresillian Hospital Nedlands, W.A., in 1937. She grew up in Nedlands, contracting Polio in 1944, which she survived after hospitalisation. Her recovery was long- eventually she had a knee splint to help her walk. Indirectly this influenced her to become a physiotherapist; she was accepted into the Physio course at UWA in 1955.
