Brenda Jean Coker

Our mom and Nana, Brenda Jean Mowat-Coker, 73, of Pickton, Texas, went to her eternal home in Heaven on June 12, 2021. Brenda was born on April 24, 1948, to the late J.D. and Mabel (King) Weems in Winnsboro. A Christian woman, Brenda lived her life serving the Lord, raising her children, and spoiling her grandbabies.
