Brooke Renee (Armbruster) Pinson, 41, passed away Thursday, August 29, at Victoria Gardens Nursing Home in Allen, Tx.
On September 2, 1982 she was born to David A. and Debra S. (Jones) Armbruster in Lexington, Mo. with Grandpa Doc Armbruster in the delivery room. She graduated from Wellington High School in 2000, earned her degree in Agricultural Economics from the University of Missouri in 2005.
She leaves behind her parents of Bella Vista, Ark., her beloved children Madison Bailey and Dayton Jacob Pinson of Wylie, Tx.; half-brother Justin Thibeault, nephew Tanner of Grain Valley, Mo., nieces Marissa and Joslyn of Blue Springs, Mo., and grandmother Ann Jones of Mount Dora, Fl., to whom she was especially close, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents Dr. Donald D. and Kathryn M. (Martin) Armbruster; and maternal grandfather, Wallace Jones.
Brooke was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer in 2007. Although stable for many years, treatment affected her mobility and she eventually required more care. Brooke was a devoted mother, loving her children through her last days. She was cherished by fellow residents, nurses, community members, friends, and family across the country. She was a devoted follower of Christ and had been in regular communion with the Roman Catholic masses provided at Victoria Gardens.
The family requests that those who loved her gather privately and celebrate her memory in a way of their choosing.
