Nan Brinkerhoff (SC-102)
A little about me- I have 4 adult kids, 1 precious grandbaby named Ellie, and a Jack Russell named Fidget. My kids are scattered across the US and the world- Seattle, DC, Boston and Vietnam. I am a retired pediatrician as of October 2020! I love The Church at Brook Hills and have been attending for about 10 years. My involvement at Brook Hills has been my Sunday morning small group, women’s small groups, volunteering with Oaktree Ministries at Mark’s Village and Oliver Elementary school and most recently have enjoyed playing with kids in the Preschool department on Sunday mornings. I enjoy reading, swimming, hiking and I do Pilates (although I can’t say I enjoy the pain of that).

Deb Bengston & Lollie Burg (Zoom, SC-100)
I enjoy spending family time with my husband of 43 years and my two daughters’ families, which includes four precious grandchildren. I enjoy cooking, watching football, boating and activities that bring people together. I am a retired teacher of 28 years. Since retirement, I have found a passion in teaching the Bible to women at a local addiction recovery facility, while also loving to gather at church with my BH women’s small group to study the Word, encourage and support one another. - Deb

As a member of Brook Hills, I first taught the six-year-old class on Sunday mornings (some of whom I loved and cherished as much as I did my own grandchildren) before moving into the Women’s Group on Wednesday mornings. Before retiring, I was the CFO of a major recruiting firm. My passions include teaching, studying the Word, and writing poetry and short stories, some of which I have been fortunate enough to have published. I am a lover of people and enjoy the company of family and friends who know my door is always open and the cookie jar and coffee pot are always filled. - Lollie

Carol Brown (SC-101)
I have lived in Birmingham all my life. I have been married to Bill Brown for 54 wonderful years. We have two children and three grandchildren. I enjoy my family and love cooking for them on as many occasions as I can bring them together. Aside from leading Brook Hills Women with a Spring and Fall study group, my husband and I lead a Legacy group on Sunday mornings. I especially love the ministry with women which God has called me to. My love for women’s ministry has led me to pray for all Brook Hills women to desire to study the Word of God. Since retirement from Public Library work, I have enjoyed many other things, such as oil painting, needle work, cooking and reading.

Phaedra Galloway (SC-207)
I live in Pelham with my husband and youngest daughter who is planning to attend Samford in the fall. I am a retired IT Project Manager, and I spend time with my three adult kids and taking care of my mom. I am blessed to volunteer at Blanket Fort Hope to fight against human trafficking and care for child survivors of sex trafficking. I lead and love a multigenerational women's bible study and attend a women's community bible study. My husband and I belong to a small group for parents of teens, and we serve in the preschool ministry. I enjoy traveling and planning and cooking for get-togethers.

Jan Hendrickson (SC-202)
I've been married to Claude for 37 years and have three grown children. I am blessed with four grandchildren who live here in town, so I get to see them regularly! I've led a multigenerational small group on Wednesday mornings for several years and I've learned so much more from them than they have from me. I also enjoy horseback riding and being outside!

Michelle Hower (SC-209)
I live in Leeds with my husband, three sons, and my mom. I teach a multigenerational women's group on Wednesday morning. My husband and I lead a couple’s group on Sunday morning, and I teach in preschool at Brook Hills on Tuesday mornings and Wednesday nights. I enjoy painting and calligraphy. I really enjoy opportunities to do ministry in multigenerational ways.
