Brenda Jacqueline Hawkins was born on October 12, 1938, in Flint, Michigan, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John and Alma (Gaines) Allen. Jackie worked within the Kearsley School District for over 25 years. She was a loving mother, and her children always came first. Jackie would give you the shirt off of her back if the opportunity presented itself. She will be remembered for the love she had for dogs, western movies, coffee, and above all, her family. Nothing made her prouder than her kids.

Surviving Brenda are her four children; Mike, and wife, Liz Warren, Mark, and wife, Nola Warren, Rhonda, and husband, John Earegood, Jayme, and his “Forever-Fiance,” Keri Hawkins; seven grandchildren; Aubrey, and husband, Sean McClain, Jacki Clemons, Jerod Warren, Gavin Earegood, Garrett Earegood, Alyssa Warren, and Aiden Warren; and her best-fur-friend, Bailey.

Brenda was preceded in death by her parents; John and Alma, and best friend; Ann King.
