Monica A Torres Brushel

Monica A. Torres Brushel, formerly of Abilene, passed away on January 3, 2021 in Reno, Nevada.  Monica was born on February 13, 1979 at Langley AFB, Virginia and in 1985, she started grade school in Abilene and attended Cooper High School.  She received a Medical Records Technician Degree from TSTC.  Monica always had a smile on her face, and she knew no stranger.  She loved cooking for her boys and their friends.  Monica’s passion was always helping others in need no matter what their situation might have been.  She always said that when we die, we will not take anything with us, so let us share what we have while we can.  She loved remodeling homes and no job was too big or too small for her because she loved the challenge.  Monica was an outstanding Christian woman, and she loved her children and her family with all her heart.

Monica is survived by her husband Damien Brushel and her sons Gabriel Torres and Ethan and Kaleb Brushel, and granddaughter Arabella Rose Torres, whom she loved with all her heart.  She is also survived by her parents, Rugelio (Roger) and Jovita Torres and brother Roger Torres, Jr., and numerous aunts, uncles, nephews, and other family members.
