Mignon Brooks arrived in Muskogee, Oklahoma on April 7, 1951, the daughter of Nathanial and Addie King, Sr. Mignon graduated from Historic Manual Training High School with the class of 1969.

It was a monumental day on January 12, 1973, when she married Claudie Brooks. Their marriage and love were blessed with five beautiful children: Nikya Givens, Dathan Brooks, Carnelle Brooks, Aquina Ellis, and Lakindra Brooks.

Mrs. Brooks worked for over 15 years for the Muskogee Public School System as a paraprofessional. She also worked with clients in the privacy of their homes.

Mignon enjoyed gardening, carpentry, cooking, cleaning, laughing, and dancing. She loved spending time with her loved ones. She would help those in need, even giving her last. She was a devoted mother and wife. You couldn't leave her presence without her telling you to "say your prayers."

Those who preceded her in death were her parents, Nathanial and Addie King, Sr.; brothers, Nathanial King, Jr., and Ishmael King; and sisters, King Zella King and Rodslen Brown-King.
