Our beloved BROOKE YVETTE WILLIAMS,

-

36, of Maumelle, gained her wings on Thursday, November 19, 2020. She was an angel on earth that is now in Heaven. She was a miracle and we were thankful for each day we had with her.

As Brooke would often say, “I’m fine!” Brooke was born on April 5, 1984, with Congenital Central Hypoventil­ation Syndrome (CCHS) but she never let that stop her! She graduated from St. Joseph High School in Conway, and also graduated with an Associate degree from Pulaski Technical College in North Little Rock. She was very proud to be an Ambassador of the Central Arkansas Corvette club! She loved everyone that she met! She had such a big heart and was definitely a blessing to all of us!

She is survived by her parents, Ivy “Sonny” Williams and Janet Kresse Williams of Maumelle; sister, Jessica Pauley Bates (Chris) of Maumelle; brother, Chad Williams of North Little Rock; grandmothe­r, Barbara Kresse of Maumelle; nephews, Gavin Pauley and Austin Bates; her best friend, Jennifer Siebenmorg­en; her special friend, Zach Hall; and many more “specials” too many to count that touched her life.Brooke was blessed with many excellent nurses over the years that became family. There are too many to name but they know who they are.

Thank you to Dr. Debra Weese-Mayer of Ann and Robert H. Laurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, who has followed Brooke since birth. Thank you to UAMS and Dr. Robert Hopkins and his nurse Pam, for excellent care through the years. Thank you to: Care IV Home Health, Alliance Home Care, Home Medical and to Independen­t Case Management (ICM).

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to CCHS Foundation, P.O. Box 230087, Necinitas, Calif., 92023.
