Brook was born on May 10, 1990, in York County, South Carolina. She was the daughter of Pastor Jeffrey Lee Gilfillan and Karen Beard Gilfillan. Brook was a true “social butterfly” who loved fiercely and always greeted others with her beautiful smile. She had a gift for making those around her feel loved and welcomed. Brook especially enjoyed watching her children play sports, taking trips to the beach, and soaking up the sunshine. She was a graduate of Clover High School and a devoted member of Gloryland Baptist Church, where she cherished hearing her father preach the gospel.
Brook is survived by her beloved children, Jace Gilfillan, Makayleigh Mackins, and Kyrie Floyd; her parents, Jeff and Karen Gilfillan; her brother, Bradley Gilfillan (Annie); her sister, Elizabeth Gilfillan; her aunt, Alisa “Lisa” Gilfillan; her uncle, Johnny B. Gilfillan; her nieces, Norah Gilfillan, Grace Gilfillan, and Aaliyah Gilfillan; and her nephew, Gabriel Gilfillan.
