Born on April 15, 1934 in Gainesville, she was the daughter of the late Delphia Cleghorn Kemp. Mrs. Brookshire was retired from Chicopee where she worked for 34 years. After retiring from Chicopee she retired from the Hall County School System where she was a Lunchroom worker at Spout Springs Elementary School and then retired from Kroger on Hamilton Mill Rd. Mrs. Brookshire was a member of Union Baptist Church.

She has lived a full and meaningful life. She has raised many children over the course of her life. She always had an open door policy to anyone who needed help throughout her life. She was a very special Christian woman and I know that she is now in a very special place with God.
