Illinois Pastor’s Teenage Daughters
On the afternoon of July 8, a tragic head-on car crash happened on Old highway 50 near Harper Street in Beckemeyer, Clinton County. The vehicle involved is a 2005 Audi which crossed into the westbound lane of the highway and a semi-tractor trailer.
The Audi was driven by 15-year-old Brooke-Lynn Broughton who had her learner’s permit. With her inside the vehicle were her 17-year-old sister Savanna and her 43-year-old aunt, Rhonda Evans. All three women lost their lives in that tragic accident. The driver of the semi-tractor suffered minor injuries.
Brooke-Lynn and Savanna are the daughters of Pastor Scott of the First Baptist Church in Carlyle and his wife Amanda. Both the sisters served on the church’s praise and worship team as worship leaders. Rhonda is the pastor’s sister.
Savanna Broughton
An obituary was posted on the church’s Facebook page on Sunday.
“Savanna was bold, beautiful, and could easily bring a smile to your face. She was excited about her upcoming senior year at Carlyle High School. At CHS, Savanna was on the homecoming court, served as Student Council president, and reporter for Carlyle High School FFA. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Carlyle, where she was active on the Praise and Worship Team. Savanna loved lifting up others by writing positive messages, leaving notes of encouragement and praise, and writing cards thanking others for kind deeds. She had a passion for mission work and enjoyed serving at homeless and women’s shelters. Savanna had a tight bond with her siblings and loved her family deeply,” the obituary said.
Brooke-Lynn Broughton
“Brooke-Lynn was creative, talented, and devoted. She was a student at Carlyle High School, where she played tenor sax in the band and was a member of the color guard. Brooke-Lynn loved hard, was devoted to her family, and she was protective of her siblings. She had an artistic touch and loved art and painting. Brooke-Lynn listened to every genre of music, from Sinatra to Eminem. Her love of music led her to sing on the Praise and Worship Team at the First Baptist Church in Carlyle, where she was a devoted member. Brooke-Lynn loved her family and her friends, but she hated bugs,” the obituary explained.
The sisters are survived by their parents and their two siblings. Let us pray for the comfort and peace of the pastor’s family.
