She had been employed at Reflections Memory Care on Helmer Road, where she had recently been promoted to a med tech.
Always a social butterfly, Breonna lit up the room with her photogenic beauty. She will be remembered for being caring, loving, selfless, and a little spicy! She had a voice and knew how to use it.
