It’s the holiday season, and it is no surprise that the ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ singer, Brenda Lee, has been in the news lately for her chart-topping song, which has continued to captivate listeners despite being released over six decades ago.

Recently, the singer sparked a wave of enthusiasm among her fans as she took the spotlight off her career to share some life lessons from her personal life. Brenda Lee touched on the topic of marriage and how she combined her fame with it.

Despite hitting fame in the ’50s as a teenage singer, she was intentional about her life, and it isn’t surprising that Brenda Lee met her now husband, Charles Ronald “Ronnie” Shacklett, and got married to him six months after their path crossed. 

Brenda Lee has since remained married to Shacklett, and she credits her discipline and commitment as the secret behind the decades-long marriage. During her recent appearance on an episode of Southern Living‘s Biscuits and Jam podcast, the singer affirmed that “I’m just me, and when I commit, and this is a testament to her thriving music career and marriage.

Living a balanced life 

As someone who pours her mind into what she wants or desires, Brenda Lee shared that she doesn’t give up, she embraces loyalty, and she is “loyal to the ones that are loyal to me.” The 80-year-old noted that her husband can attest to all these characteristics and teased that that is the reason “it’s hard to get rid of me.”

Brenda Lee and her husband welcomed two daughters, Lee and Shacklett, into their union, and they are currently proud grandparents to three grandchildren. It is nice to see that Brenda is living her family-oriented dream and balancing it with her career. She is a true source of inspiration for talents in this generation who seek the same path as she fully displays the essence of family and bonding, just like in her Christmas songs.
