Brittany Elizabeth Hankerson

Brittany walked to the beat of her own drum, she would be a friend to anyone, she was creative, she was loud and unapologetic!

Brittany had the most beautiful brown eyes; they had a sparkle in them along with a smile that could light up a room. Her sense of humor was playful. Brittany loved Halloween and was always creating the most unique costumes. When not dressing for Halloween, her everyday style was anything goes, hot pink leopard goes with orange flowers, red plaid high tops, topped off with some kind of hair accessory, right? Brittany was born and raised in Petaluma. After graduating high school, she went on to SRJC and then pursued a career in childcare. Brittany loved to make jewelry, garden, collect and dry flowers and foliage to make cards or pictures. She also loved food, hot baths and animals.

Brittany leaves behind her precious daughter Rylind and is also survived by her parents Paul and Tracie, her siblings Paul Jr, Desiree (Peter), Tim, and Thomas (Markie), her nephew Parker, her Gigi, numerous Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Brittany is predeceased by her sister Katherine, Grandma and Grandpa Hank, Poppy .and Mimim
