Jennifer “Jenny” (Harrell) Brooks, 74, of Lawrenceburg, IN, passed away on Monday, May 26, 2025.
She was born on September 4, 1950, in Milan, IN, the daughter of Martha (Cutter) Taylor and the late Wesley Harrell.
Jenny dedicated over 31 years of service to Lawrenceburg Schools, working in the cafeteria where she was a familiar and friendly face to countless students and staff. She was also a proud member of Flowers on Porches, a group close to her heart.
Jenny found joy in the simple pleasures of life-listening to Willie’s Roadhouse on XM Radio, enjoying Grand Ole Opry programs on TV, and most of all, spending time with her beloved family.
She is survived by her children: Danny (Kim) Brooks Jr. of Lawrenceburg, IN; Brian (Tina) Brooks of Lawrenceburg, IN; and Heidi (Mike) Elsen of Aurora, IN. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: Garrett (Hannah Newman) Brooks, Austin (Megan) Lattire, Carly (Brandon) McLean, and Trevor Brooks; and her precious great-granddaughter, Scarlett Elizabeth Brooks.
Jenny is also survived by her siblings: Chris Gilmour, George Taylor, and Dan Taylor; as well as her step-brothers, Steven Chase and Shawn Chase.
She was preceded in death by her father, Wesley Harrell; her loving husband of over 49 years, Danny Lee Brooks Sr.; her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Mildred and Eugene Brooks; her grandparents, Harry and Mary Eleonore Cutter; and several aunts and uncles.
