Reba Joyce Brooks

1955 - 2025

Reba Joyce Brooks, 69, of Clarkesville, passed away on October 26, 2025.
Joyce was born November 28, 1955, in Clayton, to the late David Marsengill and late Alice Chastain Marsengill.
Joyce enjoyed the outdoors, trout fishing and hunting. She also liked to visit antique shops and was always on the lookout for a good deal. She baked often and cakes were her favorite thing to create, but time spent with her family was more important to her than anything else. She was especially happy whenever she got the chance to spend time with her grandchildren.
In addition to her parents, Joyce is preceded in death by her husband, Joe Robert Brooks, Sr.; and her brother, James Marsengill.
Joyce is survived by her children, Jerry Speed (Bethany) and Michael Dean Speed; and stepson, Joe Brooks Jr. (Carmen); siblings, Troy Marsengill, Norman Marsengill, Randy Marsengill, and Faye Quilliams; as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
