Olive, she was blessed with three wonderful children that she loved, reared and nurtured, while working for over 24 years at Universal Magnetek in Mendenhall to help support them.

Mrs. Brinson was a two time breast cancer survivor and spent most of her spare time fishing and singing praises to God on the banks of what ever body of water she fished in.

Mrs. Brinson’s survivors include three children, Lucille (Andre) Poole of Prentiss, Craig Brinson and Eurydice Brinson of Jackson; one sister, Eddie Jane Easterling of Prentiss; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
