Brittany Nicole Ward
1990 - 2025
Brittany Nicole Ward, a radiant soul born on September 2, 1990, in Winston Salem, North Carolina, departed from this earthly realm far too soon on April 21, 2025, at the young age of 34. Brittany was a colorful tapestry known for her vivacious personality and deep love for her three beautiful children and the little creatures of this world. She held her Christian beliefs close to her heart.
To know Brittany was to love her. She was unapologetically herself, a “Take Me As I Am” whirlwind bursting into rooms with a personality louder than a brass band in a library! She was a creative force, quirky and hilariously pun-tastic with her wordplay wizardry that never failed to bring laughter to those around her. A lover of all creatures great and small, from the cuddly to the creepy-crawly, she found beauty where others may shriek, reflecting her gentle heart and playful spirit. Brittany had an innate ability to connect with people on a deep level, making everyone feel seen and valued. Her empathy knew no bounds, and she was always the first to offer a listening ear or a comforting hug when someone needed it most.
She was predeceased by her grandparents Joyce and Charlie Alderson, Ruth Swain and Grover Ward, who undoubtedly welcomed her with open arms in the hereafter. She is survived by her three loving babies Joshua, LillyAnn, and Atlas, her parents Deanie Foster (Donnie) and Joey Ward (Dana), her older sisters Gracie Alderson “Sissy” and Amanda Ward, 4 nieces and 2 nephews and a very special Aunt Melody whom she shared a close bond with. She leaves many other family members and childhood friends who adored her!
In keeping of Brittany’s vibrant spirit, the family will hold a private celebration of life to pay tribute to her memory. As we remember Brittany, we hold her children, Joshie, LillyBug, and Atlas Max, close in our thoughts and prayers. She is deeply missed by all who knew and cherished her.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions in Brittany’s memory be directed to AARF, an animal rescue. Donations can be made through their website at www.AARFWS.org or at their location at 302 Thurston Street, Winston Salem, NC 27103.
Daniel,
My heart aches for you as you and the kids are going thru this season. I can’t even imagine getting that information about a child of mine. I was Blessed when you personally called us the other day to tell us she had passed. I know with your faith that you will get thru this. We love you andwe have memories of keeping Josh in the nursery.
She a beautiful niece who is in heaven now
Dear mama, in everything I do, I see you and think of you. Every step I take, every breath I breathe, every work I speak, it’s all because of you. I went to go see Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith today, and I know you would have loved to watch it with me, you always loved taking me to the movies. Even though you aren’t here physically, I know you’re right beside me at all times, protecting me and Lilly and Atlas. You’re departure from this planet is rough for me, but as you always told me to do, I didn’t let it drag me down, I kept pushing through, and I’m gonna keep pushing through until the day I can’t push anymore, and that day is when we will be reunited after all. I will always love you forever and ever. Sincerely, you’re beloved son, Joshie. “Don’t break anyone’s heart, they only have one.” (A quote by Ichigo Kurosaki, a character from Bleach, one of my mom’s favorite shows.)
My Dear Friend Deanie,
I have no words that can fully express the sorrow I feel for you. I was heartbroken to hear about Brittany’s passing. She was so beautiful, so talented, and she was always so sweet to me. I will always remember her smile. .
I cannot imagine the pain you’re facing. Please know that I am here for you in any way you need. I am holding you, Josh, Lilly, Atlas, Gracie, and all of Brittany’s loved ones in my heart and prayers.
I love you very much, and Jesus loves you even more. ✝️🙏🏽❤️
Yolanda
Safely Home
I am home in heaven, dear ones
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in God’s own hand.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh the rapture of that meeting,
Oh the joy to see you come!
