Brinlee Nicole Jones, daughter of Brian Scott & Leah Marie Jones, was born in Branson MO on December 21st, 1998, later called home to Heaven at the age of 25 on October 8th2024. Brinlee walked with the Lord as a young child, baptized at the age of nine, and had recently rededicated her life again to Jesus in an ocean re-baptism only weeks prior to her departure. Brinlee was a fierce princess warrior taking a stand for Jesus to the very end of her days on this Earth. She no doubt will be greatly missed here leaving a big void in the lives for those that knew her, but we know this world is not our home so we will surely see her again.
Brinlee graduated with academic honors (National Honor Society & Thespian Award for her lead roles in theater productions) from Lees Summit West High School May 2017.

Her favorite job of all was working as a paint instructor at Painting With A Twist Lakewood CO. Every one of these jobs were a perfect fit for her carefree and fun loving artistic personality. Brinlee’s spiritual gifts of FAITH , LEADERSHIP , CREATIVE COMMUNICATION , and ENCOURAGEMENT were lived out in her passion to PROPHIZE & EVANGELIZE to all .
Brinlee always sought out to find answers to the hard questions, eager to understand everything. Nicknamed “friendly” Brinlee as a child as she knew no stranger, her greatest desire was the happiness of others. Her compassion and generous spirit was off the charts , a true example of Gods unconditional love and beauty which was shown thru her gifts and passions in art , theater , dance , music ( guitar, piano , ukulele , flute , violin ) , coffee , food , nature , travel , and community . Brinlee was loved by so many. Brinlee’s impact on those that spent even a day walking with her was beautiful and will forever comfort our souls.
