Niciea Gloria Brewster was born on December 17, 1942 in Magee, Mississippi. She was the fourth child of Elijah and Anice Brown. She was known by many names, depending on who you were in her lifetime. Some may have known her as Gloria Jean or Sylvia. She graduated high school from McLaurin Vocational School in Magee, Mississippi. She then attended Alcorn University in Lor-man, Mississippi where she obtained her bachelor's degree in Phys-ical Education and later earned her master's degree.

After establishing her career in education she met the love of her life. On June 26, 1969, she married Jimmy Padgett Brewster and had 3 children. Starting her new life in Texas she has worked with many companies: Terrell State Hospital as an adolescent teacher, Terrell ISD as a Preschool/ Head Start teacher and Terrell Commu-nity Hospital as a care-giver. She has always been a caring person and always lending a helping hand. No matter the field she found herself in, she was always that Florence Nightingale or someone's helping angel.

She was a huge New Orleans Saints fan and loved to travel along with lending helping anyone that needed a helping hand.
