A lifelong athlete, Brittney's love for sports began at an early age. She competed in tournament softball
throughout middle school and high school, where her talent, work ethic, and competitive spirit set her apart.

an eight-game season and pitching four consecutive no-hitters, these records reflected both her dominance on
the mound and her dedication to the game.
Her athletic success earned her a dual scholarship to play both softball and volleyball at the collegiate level.
Brittney continued to excel in college athletics, competing at a high level while demonstrating leadership,
discipline, and resilience. After her playing days, she carried her passion for the sport forward by becoming a

them not only the fundamentals of the game but a love for God that was infectious.
Brittney's faith was a guiding force in her life. She was a devoted follower of the Lord, grounded in her beliefs

challenges, and carried herself through both joy and hardship. Even in the midst of illness, she leaned on her
faith for strength and peace, trusting in God's plan with humility and grace. Her walk with the Lord was evident
in her compassion, perseverance, and the quiet assurance with which she lived.
More than any title she carried, Brittney was most proud to be a mother. Her children were her heart, and she
loved them fiercely and without reservation. She was known for her honesty and directness, never afraid to
speak her mind and always standing firmly in her truth which are qualities that defined her strong, genuine, and
