Cecelia was born July 24, 1919, in Sheridan to H. Glen & Edith (Murdock) Kinsley.
Cecelia grew up and graduated from high school in Sheridan. She married Lyman H. Brooks, Jr..
In her last years, she was looked after by family friend Betty Harrison.
"When I am gone; I hope you will recall the loving friendship we have shared. Never forget that others will appreciate the good deeds you do, as I have appreciated the good deeds you have done for me. The heart is a garden where thought flowers grow. The kindly thoughts we think are seeds we sow. Never forget a thought that is selfish is like a weed and may there never be room for weed thoughts to grow. Would that I could repay one and all a portion of the kindly deeds strewn along my lifetime."
With God's blessings
And
Loving prayers, C. Brooks

Not sure what to say?

I was a waitress at the Steer for a few years and waited on Mrs. Brooks and her sister and friends. She would bring women for their birthday's and always she paid. I often thought some of these people either couldn't afford to go out or had no one to go out with on their birthdays. I always wished I could have talked to her more she was a very intelligent lady. The new waitresses were scared of her but if they were trying she was always kind but she knew when someone was lazy and she would...

Mrs. Brooks was a reamarkably intelligent lady, full of fire and had no fear in writing about her opinions when she felt compelled to. I'll always remember her and Nellie and their cocktails at The Golden Steer, "Bourbon on the rocks with a twist!", she'd tell me while Marvin Fritz would be swirling the dancing tunes on the organ. Such lovely and fond memories I have of Ceci and visiting her when she was still in her apartment. Such a great lady she was.

Cecelia will be remembered fondly. She was married to my great uncle Herbert Brooks, and they shared many great years together. Her devotion to him and his family always will be appreciated. God Bless You Cecelia.
