Courtney loved all animals but she was always rescuing dogs. She loved gardening, had a ton of chickens probably too many. She loved making mini verses with the boys, and collecting anything tiny. She loved playing board games, she would buy a new one every week and play til Brantley told her he was tired of playing. “She would decide at the last minute, right before bed to decide she wanted me to braid her hair.”-Jay Courtney worked at the 4 way in Bassfield and had the best customer service for someone who didn’t like people, anyone who’s ever come in that store will tell you how she would always make them laugh or make their day in some way. She always told you what she thought, she didn’t hold back to not hurt feelings. You always knew where you stood with Courtney and i believe that’s one thing everyone loved about her. She never met a stranger and treated everyone with the same respect no matter who you were or where you came from. She was the life of the party and everyone’s favorite person. They both loved spending time with their family.. We’d all get together and talk the most stuff about any and everyone. We were safe to say anything we thought to each other. And definitely did.
