This endowment honors the memory of Brooke Elaine Sparks, who passed away in December 2018 following a four year battle with cancer. She was a school teacher for many years across the US and overseas and was very active in Raceland Christian Church, where she was a long-time member. Brooke is remembered for her love of children, travel, reading, antique collecting and her memory is cherished by all those who knew her. Her husband of 44 years, Dr. Joe D Sparks, and her lifelong friends the Deborde Family, lovingly endow this fund to keep alive Brooke’s memory and to celebrate her amazing life. The funds in this endowment are unrestricted, but priority will be given to those involving area youth, religious organizations, and projects involved in the fight against cancer.
