Beenackers: Brooke Alexis (née Jones) -

Brooke will be deeply missed by many; nieces, nephews, extended family, and countless friends who she loved so much.
Over her short, but full, 29 years, Brooke loved playing sports, spending time with friends, helping her dad on the farm, and loving/caring for her family. Taken much too soon…
Brooke cared deeply for everyone around her. She never hesitated to reach out and help in whatever capacity needed.
