Celebrating Brooke
Brooke Mckinsey Smith
Brooke captured the true essence of beauty both inside and out. Man looks upon the outside, and God looks upon the heart. I believe they both smiled when they looked at her. She seemed to be born with a smile on her face and was full of life her whole life through, even through her bout (roller derby) with cancer. She loved her family so much and they were very, very important to her. Her sister Ashley, age 23, who was only 14 months older than her, shared everything with her, from food and bedrooms, to clothes and colds. She loved to mother her younger brother Mitchell, age 18, and yet was his close buddy. She made her Mom, Rebecca Wimmer Smith, and her Dad, the late Barry L. Smith, laugh with glee and, at times, lose their hair. Her friend, and Mom #2, Cynthia Oliver and her family had a special place in her heart. Her grandparents, Rose Smith, Shirley Lineberry, Eugene (PaGene) Lineberry, and the late Dennis Earl Wimmer and Clarence L. Smith, were all fun for her to hug and kiss. Numerous close aunts, uncles, and cousins made life beautiful, and her God-ordained family made life complete.
She was a social creature and LOVED people. She had so many amazing friends that I hesitate to try and mention you all. Just know that she loved you So Much. God was truly the author and the finisher in Brooke's life. Her relationship with Him was her core, and she returned to Him with an amazing passion. She loved sports, her latest being Roller Derby, which brought her great excitement. Her creativity and love for people shined in her hairdressing skills at St Pierre Salon. Brooke, it's impossible to say goodbye because you will live on eternally through the impact that you made and will continue to make in our lives. We LOVE you Forever and Ever and Ever. Dance With Jesus until we see you again!
