Mickey “Jean” Brashear passed away on January 19, 2012 at her residence in Springfield, Missouri, at the age of 65, due to Alzheimer’s related disease.
She was born in Shelbyville, Illinois, and grew up in Sedalia, Missouri, attending Smith Cotton High School.
She is preceded in death by her father, August Ashinhurst; step-mother, Doris Ashinhurst; and granddaughter, Amanda Hope Facey.
She is survived by her two children, Gregory Allen Facey Jr. and his girlfriend and her son; April and Cody Munhollon, Stacy Lynn Hill and her partner, Patty Whisler, all of Springfield. She has six grand-children, Winter, Wyatt, Wesley and Whittier Hill and Jennifer Lutz of Springfield, and Raven Facey of Sedalia, Missouri.
Jean worked as a bartender at Tom & Jerry’s Twilight Inn on E. Trafficway for many years. She also waitressed at The Last Great American Diner on N. Kearney St. until she became disabled in 2003.
Among Jean’s favorite past-times were bar-b-que, bud lite and trips to the river. Sharing these trips with the love of her children and grand kids. Skipo and yahtzee were her favorite board games. Jean and Stacy would watch musicals together, and dance to the 50’s music.
Jean had a big heart for the love of her animals, with so many dogs over the years.
Her favorite color was blue and she loved to lie under lilac bushes.
We know in our hearts she is now in heaven looking over the one’s she loved, taking her trips, playing Skipo, dancing to 50’s music, then resting under a lilac bush by the water.
Love and miss you, Mom.
