Cooking, as well as cleaning, were some of her favorite things to do. Brittany loved taking rides with her mom to different places, just so she could be behind the wheel. She had a big heart and was always ready to help anyone in need. She enjoyed beading and watching movies, but she received her greatest joy from spending time with her children and her nieces and nephews. Brittany was a big daddy's girl who will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
