ernice Elois "Lois" Brown Brasfield, a paragon of love and compassion, departed this earthly realm on September 2, 2025, at NMMC-Amory, leaving behind a legacy that reflects the essence of true humanity, enriched by her unwavering faith and devotion to family. Born on November 15, 1939, in Hamilton, Mississippi, Lois's life was a testament to kindness and unconditional love, extending warmth to all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Her organizational skills and attention to detail were qualities that did not go unnoticed, earning her the respect and admiration of her colleagues and community.
A proud graduate of Becker High School in 1957, Lois carried forth an education that laid the foundation for her future endeavors, along with a spirit of service that flourished through her membership in the Junior Auxiliary of Amory. Deeply embedded in the fabric of her community, she was a faithful member of Amory First Methodist Church, where her love for the Lord radiated throughout her life.
Her personality, as tenderhearted as it was vibrant, drew countless friends near, including her dearest companions Howard and Neva Moon, and Glenda and Bobby Cox. Lois found joy in her relationships, whether through shared laughter or moments spent in heartfelt conversation.
At the forefront of Lois's proudest accomplishments stood her beloved family: her sons, Ricky (Susan) Brasfield and Brad (Neita) Brasfield, and her cherished grandchildren—Whit (Audrey) Brasfield, Eric (Alicia) Wylie, Lindsay (Buzz) Abney, and Taylor (Austin) Stanfield. The joy of her life continued with her great-grandchildren: Bo Abney, Riley Reese Stanfield, Brady Mark Stanfield, Easton Wylie, and Lola Noy, all of whom brought her immeasurable delight.

In contrast, her heart bore the weight of loss with the passing of her son Mark David Brasfield, her cherished husband of 63 years, Lee M.
