Brooke Brown Madsen's Obituary
Brooke Brown Madsen, age 41, of Fayetteville, AR, passed from this life Tuesday, August 25, 2020. She was born June 12, 1979, in Little Rock, AR. Brooke was a nurse practitioner at Optimal Pain and Wellness in Fayetteville.
Brooke was a lover of life, family, and adventure. Her heart was as big as they come. She was not a person who simply lit up the room, she entirely filled the room with her laugh and energy. Brooke was funny, sarcastic, opinionated, and compassionate. She genuinely cared about others and would protect anyone she felt wasn’t being treated fairly.
Brooke was passionate about her kids and was involved with everything they did. Every conversation with her involved them in some way. Her favorite thing was to pile up with them and be in their presence. Brooke loved her husband and step kids and was so proud to be in their life. One of her favorite times of the year was Thanksgiving with her family in Hazen, AR surrounded by her aunts, uncles, sisters, cousins and friends. Family gatherings were important to her. She has now joined her dearly loved grandparents William and Shirley McMullen, Vester and Mary Brown, Luther Wells, and Ray and Mary Martin.
Survivors are her husband Michael Madsen; children Miles Naples, Elli Naples, Taylor Naples all of Fayetteville, AR; parents Ronnie Brown (Cindy) of Hot Springs, AR, Stina Brown of Texarkana, TX; step children Autumn Madsen, Abby Madsen, Campbell Madsen all of Fayetteville, AR; a brother Jason Brown of Van Buren, AR; sisters Aria Potter of Texarkana, TX, Leigh Anne Sims of Star City, AR, Lindsey Harris of Texarkana, AR; her grandmother Francis Wells of Rison, AR.
Funeral services are 2:00 p.m. Saturday, August 29, at Fellowship Church in Fayetteville. Burial is in Fairview Memorial Gardens. Visitation is 4p.m. until 6 p.m. Friday, August 28, at Nelson Berna Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, 3 International Drive, Suite 200, Rye Brook, NY, 10573.
