Brooke was born July 2, 2004 in Joplin, beloved daughter of Jay Robinson and Mackenzie Welton Robinson, sister of Taylor Robinson. She was a student at East Middle School where she was a member of the cheerleading squad, basketball and track team, she also enjoyed playing soccer while growing up. Brooke was a member of the East Middle School student council and was looking forward to her role as a web leader in the upcoming school year as an eighth-grader. She was a "Big Sister" to many of her younger friends, and looked up to her very own Big sister, Taylor. Anything Taylor was involved with, Brooke followed in her footsteps. She was a very active beautiful girl with a vibrant smile and a heart of gold that would light up any room. She managed to make you laugh everyday.
