A number of her grandchildren "cheerfully" believed they were the number one grandchild to her.

Mrs. Middlebrooks was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, caring mother-in-law, a faithful friend, and confidante.

She retired from Lamparts Furniture Company after working there for twenty-five plus years as a sander and buffer. She was the Mother of the Church at Bethany Outreach Baptist Church. Before her declining health some years ago, she was an avid reader and loved singing.

Visitation will be from 10:30 am until 11:00 am on March 12, 2022, at New Bethel Baptist Church, located at 1116 Montlieu Avenue in High Point, NC. The funeral will begin at 11:00 am and will be officiated by Pastor Walter Roy and the burial will follow at Guil-Rand Memorial Park.

The family extends their gratitude and appreciation to the nurses and staff of Amedysis  Hospice and to the faithful CNAs of Gentle Touch.
