Earline was born in Walnut Ridge Arkansas on February 17, 1936 to William and Elvis Sparks and the youngest of 5 siblings but only knew her older brother William known to everyone as Dub. She did not know her father because he passed away when she was 3 months old and Three of her siblings that were born before she and her brother were born didn’t survive. She met and then married Gene Brassfield on January 17, 1955 and welcomed a baby girl, Gail Evelyn, on December 13, 1955. Earline moved to Kansas after graduating from High School and although we don’t know of all of the jobs she had in her earlier years she worked Downtown Kansas City MO for Firestone, Later she was a Realtor for a short time and most of her later years she worked for Dillards. She loved to sew, work In the yard (especially planting and caring for flowers), and doing puzzles. Besides the Love she had for Her Lord and Family she loved butterflies and flowers (especially pink roses).
Earline was loved by her family and was a very kind and loving Mom and Grandma and she loved her family very much. She prayed for them every day and always asked how everyone was doing.
The family would like to thank all of the Nurses, Aids, and Staff at Villa St. Francis and Three Oaks Hospice (Formerly Hospice Partners) for the wonderful care they gave to her for over three years.

Such a beautiful picture of Earline. She was a wonderful aunt and I will miss her. Every single memory I have of Earline is good. Heaven was rejoicing when she entered the gates. You’ll all be together again some day.
I only have good memories of Grandma Earline. She was always kind and sweet. I remember her taking us out to do fun things like get Winchell’s donuts when I was a kid. I’m thankful for the time I was able to spend with her, especially visiting her in Idaho and celebrating her birthday. She really appreciated people saying and doing kind things for her. She had a great sense of humor and loved watching her grandkids play. I’m so glad she isn’t suffering anymore, but I will miss her.
Gene and Earline moved to Idaho and were our neighbors for about 8 years. That was the first time I really got to know and become close to Earline. She was a very sweet and loving sister-in-law. We puzzled, had girls day out often shopping and having lunch usually at Sizzler. She loved coconut shrimp!! She was a precious blessing to me.
