Mrs. West was born on May 16, 1944 in Mart. Early on, her family relocated to Waco, where she attended school. After graduation, and after meeting the love of her life, James Leo West of Hillsboro, she enrolled in nursing school. But then, like Leo, she felt the tugging of her heart towards law enforcement. As a couple, they spent many years serving the public in that capacity, helping to make Hillsboro a safer place to live. Mrs. West was preceded in death by her parents, Nolia Caddell Brasier, originally of Ben Hur, and Dewey Brasier; infant daughter, Nannette West of Hillsboro; brother, Charley Curry of Waco; and sister Helen Park of Eddy.

Left to grieve her passing is daughter, Annette Kelm and husband, Kenneth, of Malone; son Dewey West of Bynum; grandchildren Kenneth Dean Kelm, II and Harli Kelm, both of Malone, McKenzie West and partner, Megan Pankhurst, and Danni Lynn West; great-grandchild, Brayden Crist; sisters, Honey Bee Morris of Buffalo, Linda Park of China Spring, Glenda West of Waco, and Mary Falteisek of Kerrville; brother, James Brasier of Corsicana.; sister-in-law, Carolyn Paris and husband, Tom; brother-in-law, Ben West and wife, Sylvia; sister-in-law, Sarah Curry; sister-in-law, Donna West; many nieces and nephews; and a host of loving extended family and friends.

Serving as pall bearers will be Patrick Miller, Ray Allen, Kirk Tidwell, Scott Allen, K. C. Allen, Larry Watson, Matt Watson, Caleb Watson, Andrew Watson, and Dale Johnson.
