Mary Ellen Matthews Brazile, age 92, of Westville, Florida passed in her sleep June 3, 2021 at Northwest Florida Community Hospital in Chipley, Florida. She was born December 27, 1928 in Geneva, Alabama to the late Ewell Quincy Matthews and Nora Reba Childs Matthews.
In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Clifton A. Brazile, two sons, Ronnie Tadlock and Randy Tadlock, two brothers and five sisters.

Mary loved her church family and was an active member of Westville Community Baptist, sewing, cooking, and having large family gatherings. Perhaps her greatest joy were her 8 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. Wherever she went, Mary brought love, light, and laughter. She single-handedly raised her five sons and treated others with respect and dignity regardless of their station in life.
