Brianna Christine Watts, age 26, passed away unexpectedly on February 23rd, 2025. She was born on June 28th, 1998, to Christine Watts and James Hatfield at Lakeland Hospital in Saint Joseph, Michigan.
A memorial gathering for Brianna honoring her life will take place on Wednesday, March 5th, 2025, at the Starks and Menchinger Chapel (2650 Niles Road, St. Joseph, MI 49085) from 4:00 – 7:00 pm. For a more lasting memory, donations in Brianna's name can be made out to her mother Christine Watts. Please share a memory with the family on her online tribute wall.
Brianna was an incredibly loving mother to her 3-year-old son Christopher. She enjoyed music, traveling, cooking and spending time with those she loved. She was the type of person that if she let you in to her life, she would do anything for you, there by your side through anything, your biggest supporter and biggest critic.
Brianna is survived by her beloved son, Christopher Spencer; mother, Christine Watts; father, James Hatfield; brothers Blake Edmonds; Brandon Robinson; Jamal Hatfield, James Hatfield II; sister, Juanita Hatfield and nephews Jeremiah Beene and Jo'Nah Hatfield; grandmother, Mattie Jackson, as well as multiple aunts, uncles and cousins.
