Brooksie had many jobs in her life, however, her passion was her family. She simply loved being a "Granny" She also loved animals and had several dogs. Her favorite loyal companion was "Missy". Brooksie always enjoyed having a good time with family and friends, and in her later years she found simple pleasures with Diet Pepsi and Hershey Bars that her granddaughter Teresa would bring her. She was a fun-loving lady who will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
There will be a private family service for Brooksie in Michigan. Her family will receive friends for a graveside funeral service this spring in Henderson County Memory Gardens where she will be laid to rest with her family.
