Brooklyn Kay Lawson, age 35, of Waldron, Arkansas, passed from this life on December 18, 2025, in Waldron. She was born June 5, 1990, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, to David Lee Lawson and Gay Annette (Morran) Lawson.
Brooklyn was a beautiful soul whose presence brought warmth, smiles, and love to those around her. She lived her life surrounded by a family who cherished her deeply and made sure she always knew how loved she was. Brooklyn shared a special bond with her family, especially her grandparents, Danny and Kay Morran-her beloved Pawpaw and Mawmaw. She was truly Pawpaw’s Darling, a title she wore proudly and lovingly.
She is survived by her father, David Lawson; her mother, Gay Lawson; and her stepfather, Billy Lunsford, all of Waldron, Arkansas. She also leaves behind her treasured grandparents, Danny and Kay Morran of Parks, Arkansas; her aunts, Casey Wilder of Manila, Arkansas, Judy Self and Debbie Taff, both of Waldron, Arkansas; her step-sister, Kallie Houston; and her precious nieces, Josie, Kandice, and Macie, who brought her great joy. Brooklyn is also survived by her close cousins: Daniel, Charlye, April, Travis, Beverly, Renee’ and Nikki as well as many extended family members who loved her dearly and will forever hold her memory close.
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents; her paternal great-grandparents; and her maternal great-grandparents, who surely welcomed her home with open arms.
Brooklyn found happiness in life’s simple pleasures. She loved swinging, listening to music, and collecting musical snow globes that filled her world with melody and comfort. Blue was her favorite color, and her favorite song, “Just a Swingin’,” perfectly reflected her gentle joy and love for music. Brooklyn had a way of touching hearts without ever needing words, and her smile could brighten any room.
