This is my story which began December 6, 1968 born in Columbia, MO. I was the first child born to Fredetta (Ronnie) Gillette and Carl (Ladonna) Galbreath. I have joined in death my grandfather, Fred Nickens Jr, my sister, Kandi Nickens and my daughter, Chrishimia Nickens.
I lived and cherished life with my loving husband, Darrick Rodgers Sr, of St. Louis, my sons who I raised to be the strong men they are today, Christopher Pittmon, of Fulton, MO, Monta Pittmon and Darrick Rodgers Jr. of St. Louis, MO. 4 daughters, Darronica Rodgers, Jameelah Rodgers, Shaderricka Harrold and Alexis Poke, of St. Louis, MO. 6 of my siblings remain, my sisters Paullita (Darrell) Brown and Nasha Richmond, of Fulton, MO, Gwendolyn (Wilbert) Nelson and Sandra Rodgers of St. Louis, MO and Aaron Galbreath and Eric Galbreath, of Lees Summit, MO.

I grew up in Fulton, MO and graduated from Fulton High School. I then moved to St. Louis, MO, attended and graduated from Columbia College and Everest College. In my search of finding out what career I wanted to pursue, I was blessed to become a Dental Hygienist with Big Smiles in St. Louis, MO. There I had the pleasure to work with a wonderful team. I was a member of Guiding Light Baptist Church. There I had a caring and loving church family. I also had the joy of building an unbreakable bond with my BFF (Best Friends Forever) Kennette Scott-Maginley, Lavonda Pittmon-Grisby and Betty Pittmon.
