I was born and raised in Dumas, Tx. After graduating from Dumas High School, I served in the United States Army for three years. After my enlistment in the Army I attended Dallas Institute of Funeral Service where I met the love of my life, Tina. We moved to Brownfield and I began serving the community on March 17th, 2008 here at Brownfield Funeral Home with Bob and Jacalyn Jones. On June 1, 2014 Bob and Jacalyn allowed us the privilege of purchasing the funeral home and continuing to serve the community that we have grown to love. Tina and I have a great love of God and are blessed to serve him. God has blessed us with four wonderful children, Danielle, Gage, Blake and Aspyn.

I was born and raised in Arkansas and moved to Texas in 1998. I worked for Carter BloodCare for 11 years before attending Dallas Institute of Funeral Service, where I met my wonderful husband, Gary. In March of 2008, Gary was offered an opportunity to work for Bob and Jacalyn Jones at Brownfield Funeral Home. Gary, our four children and I moved from Dallas to the loving community of Brownfield. In 2010 I was offered a position to work alongside my husband as a funeral director/embalmer and four short years later on June 1, 2014 we were blessed with the privilege of not only purchasing the funeral home but the continuation of service to the Brownfield community. We will continue to serve the Lord and his ministry at Brownfield Funeral Home by providing love, care and support to our community during their time of loss and grief.

I was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and was raised in the loving but small community of Union, Texas. I attended Union School and that is where I met my high school sweetheart and husband, Ruben Vasquez. We have two beautiful and amazing children; Gerald and Chelsea. I've always had a love for flower arranging and decorating, so I found working at Brownfield Floral a dream come true for many years. However, I strongly believe the Lord guided me to Brownfield Funeral Home where I am the Office Administrator and a Pre-Need Specialist. I am so honored to be working here. This is the most difficult time for families and I want to be here to comfort and do what I can to make this time a little easier.

I was born and raised in Abilene, Texas. I moved to Lubbock to study at Texas Tech and have a degree in Communication Studies. My goal at Brownfield Funeral Home is to be a trusted adviser when it relates to families making plans for themselves or loved ones. This is an idea that we all very much believe in because it enables each family member to have their wishes met and burdens removed from the loved ones left behind.
