Trina BROADNAX Obituary
She was born in Danville, Va., on Aug. 19, 1968, to the late David Anthony Broadnax and Mattie Howard Evans. Trina was their only child. She was educated in the Hampton City Public School System.
Trina spent many years providing her patients with professional and excellent in-home care. She also received Christian training for many years at Morning Star Baptist Church, Hampton, Va. Even though she didn't always feel well, she was never too tired to cook meals, help others, and attend "everyone's" funeral, no matter how long she was acquainted with them. Her love for her son, Nedkwon, her grandmother, Mrs. Mary Brandon, her mother and other family members, as well as her vast number of friends, was truly her driving force in life. She did not attend college, but she was truly a lawyer, social worker, psychiatrist, doctor, nurse, love counselor and a person who "called any situation as she saw it." Her friends would let her have her way, even though they didn't always agree with her, and they also knew she was not open to advice from them. These friends never stopped loving her "heart."
Trina was preceded in death by her father, David Anthony Broadnax; and his mother, Mamie Broadnax; her grandfathers, Nellis Brandon, Leroy F. Howard Sr., and John Broadnax; her uncle, Arthur L. Gooden; and an aunt, Antricilla Howard.
She leaves to cherish her memory, her only child, Nedkwon Devante' Broadnax; her mother and stepfather, Mattie Evans and Lloyd; grandmother, Mary Brandon; aunts, Mary Robertson (Buford), Donnire Gooden, Sheila James (Rickie), Jeannie Polk, and Bertha Pratt; uncles, Sherman Broadnax (Cathy) and Leroy Howard Jr.; stepmothers, Clarice Broadnax and Effie Broadnax; stepsister, Felecia Dix (Mark); stepbrothers, Ronald Morst, and Chauncey Morst; godbrother, Marvin Hardy Jr.; her "special" children, Tasha, Keon and Deja Cutler; and a host of other aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Services for Ms. Broadnax, will held at noon Monday, July 23, 2012, at Ebenezer Baptist Church, 171 Simple Farms Road, Hampton, VA 23666 with the Rev. Dr. Walter R. Dean, Pastor, officiating and the Rev. Dr. Christopher C. Carter Sr., eulogist.
Interment to follow in Parklawn Memorial Park, Hampton, Va. Ms. Broadnax will lie in state at Ebenezer Baptist Church two hours prior to the service. A viewing for Ms. Broadnax will be held from noon to 4 p.m. today, July 22, 2012, at C. C. Carter funeral Home, 3314 Roanoke Ave.
Services of dignity and respect are provided by the Staff C. C. Carter Funeral Home. cccarterfuneralhome.com. View and post condolences on our online guestbook at dailypress.com/guestbooks.

Mrs. Mattie,
I am truly saddened by Trina's death. Trina was more than just a friend; she was an amazing person. After leaving the area, I could always rely on Trina to give me the update on the neighborhood in which we shared a lot of memories. Her passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of everyone who knew her.
My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.

"Girl, my hair is way up here." "All I need is those two tuck combs." Wow, what memories. You will surely be missed. Love you.

God Bless You All.

I am truly saddened to hear of Trina's passing! I remember Trina from our time at Bethel High School. As soon as I saw that beautiful, bright smile coming down the hall I knew plenty of
gum popping and wise cracking was on the
way! Trina was a stylish, neat, hilarious yet no
nonsense, caring, take up for you kind of girl. I
haven't seen her since the late 80's, it so warms my heart to know she lived her life loving the Lord and sharing her gifts with others. As you celebrate her life and legacy please know my thoughts and prayers are with her son,
mother, family, and friends at this time.
Respectfully,
William & Mary Valentine

Many Blessings to the Family of "Trina Y. Broadnax"---- Trinia had a loving and warm heart for people and was always so very helpful. We always called her our "little sister" because she was apart of the family that was always there to talk to and share the joy of a smile in life. She will indeed be missed from this earth but we know that God Will Take Care and so whenever you think of her, think of her with a beautiful heart and smile of sharing her joy.
God Will Always Provide For Her Son And Family Members with Many Blessings.
Love--- "The Robertson's Family and The Hawkins Family"
