Patrice Brookins Kerin
McDONOUGH, Ga. — Patrice (Searls) Brookins Kerin passed away Nov. 28, 2005, at Starcrest Nursing Home in McDonough, Ga.

She was born Aug. 29, 1917, in Huntington, W.Va., to Harlan and Cathrine Searls. She graduated from Huntington High School and married her high school sweetheart, Robert “Bus” Brookins. She had two children, Carolyn and James, who survive her, as well as stepdaughters, Barbara and Rini Kerin, whose father she married in 1967. She is also survived by 10 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; four great-great-grandchildren; a brother, James R. (Frances) Searls of Michigan; four nieces; and three nephews.

Mrs. Kerin was active in the community while residing in Mount Vernon. She became a dental assistant and worked for a local dentist. She also worked at a local florist and she so loved arranging and working with flowers, so much it became her lifetime hobby.

She also worked at Thompsons Jewelry and Wise Jewelers. While working there she was honored as business and professional woman of the year. Her window displays at both jewelry stores reflected her love and design of harmony. She and her husband, John Kerin, completely restored two Victorian homes in Mount Vernon; one of them being written up and pictured in the Columbus Dispatch. She was beloved by everyone in her large family. They, and many friends, will miss her charm and creativity, her love of art and music, her positive attitude and her grand sense of humor.

All friends are welcome to join the family at the memorial service being held Saturday, Dec. 17, at 3 p.m. at Mulberry Street United Methodist Church; graveside service for the family will immediately follow.

She will be sweetly missed by her family, but we know she is at peace with God and the angels.

The family suggests contributions can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, in lieu of flowers.
