Brittany Nicole Jenkins (Howe) was born October 8, 1993 to Gary Gene Howe and Tonya Kilpatrick. She passed away on May 21, 2025 and will forever be thirty-one. Brittany had a spark for life and a love for family, both blood and chosen. She was compassionate, bubbly, and enjoyed sharing laughter with all. She was a loyal friend who genially cared to build you up and support you in any way possible. Brittany was a giving person with a little stubborn streak. There wasn’t an animal she would not love nor a stray she would not house, if she could sneak it in.
Crafting with the girls, driving around singing along to 90’s country music, hanging at the river or with family and friends are how she spent her days. Her world revolved around her moon (Kyle) and her stars (the girls). Her family and friends will carry her love with them.
She is preceded in death by her father, Gary Eugene Howe, Jr; grandfathers, Gary Eugene Howe, Sr, Ray Gessner, and Clifford Chism; Pappy, Don Kilpatrick; and aunt, Debbie Kilpatrick.
She is survived by her husband, Kyle; daughters, Kylie and Braylee; her parents, Tonya and Roy Kilpatrick, and Gene’s special friend, Jennifer Streigle; brother Austin (Jessica) Howe; her grandparents, Shirley Gessner, Linda Chism, Donna Chism, and Sharon Kilpatrick; and great- grandmother, Ava Lee; her in-love family, Eileen (Gary) Prince, John (Gayle) Jenkins, Kristopher (Sarah) and Bear Immesote, and Madison (Lucas) Reifsteck; uncles, Darrell (Lacie) Kilpatrick and Jason Chism; and aunt, Lisa (Lee) Sanders; and so many more cousins and chosen family and friends.
There will be a visitation at Beard’s Funeral Chapel on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 from 6-8 PM.
