This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Brittany Matheny aka "Hippie", 22, born on September 11, 1991 and passed away on October 25, 2013. We will remember her forever.

Brittany was born in Santa Barbara, Californiaat at Cottage Hospital weighing in at 7lbs 0oz. 19.25 inches long, 10 fingers and 10 toes."My Perfect Child" She is survived by her mom and dad Mitzi and Eddie Matheny and her brother Nathen Matheny. Uncle and Godfather Arty Blanco, Aunt Annette Carrasco Finch, Uncle Chad Carrasco, and Aunt and Godmother Nina Carrasco Paradise. On her dad's side of the family she has her Grandma Sara Smith, grandpa Ron Matheny, Aunt Ronda Matheny Griffin. Preceded in death is her Great Grandma Bea Kirk (Ol' Grammy) who she loved and adored.  She had boat loads of cousins and many, many good friends. She loved everyone she knew. She grew into an amazing, loving, caring, giving young adult.  She would do anything she could for the people she loved.  She gave some a place to sleep, clothes to wear, food to eat and a place to call 'home'. Brittany did so much for those she loved.  She wanted to make people happy and comfortable and she did it all without judgement and without regard for herself.  She did so much for the people she loved,  she even took a bullet... She saved a life... THAT MAKES HER A HERO!  Brittany was full of love and laughter and she spread her happiness everywhere she went.  She lit up the room when she walked in and everybody noticed her.  I know every parent says that about their child, but Brittany honestley did.  Beautiful, loving, caring and tender was my daughter, but mess with her friends or family, the people she loved the most and suffer the wrath of Brittany. As delicate as she was Brittany most certainly could hold her own in times of trouble.  And she did just that on a few occasions.  Not even the boys were free from her wrath and everybody knew it.  I am very proud, honored and blessed to have her for a daughter and for the time we shared.  Even though I desparatly want more time with her I thank God for the time we did have.  If you are visiting her at the cemetary and scaned the code on her marker here's a little information on who's around her:  My name is Mitzi Matheny and I will be going in with Brittany (my daughter) when I leave this earth.  To her left is her Me-Maaw and Grandpa (my parents).  Grandpa went to be with Brittany 7 months after she was murdered.  And Me-Maaw left to be with both of them 7 months after Grandpa.  They were exceptional parents and the most wonderful grandparents.  You couldn't ask for better parents or grandparents, because they were the absolute best!  To her right is her cousin Jessica Embree, they were very close and got along great.  Brittany went to school with Jessica's son Michael for a short time in high school.  At first they didn't even realize they were cousins because they were so young last time they saw each other.  Until one day me and Britt and a couple or her friends were in my car and Brittany was bragging about Michael and I said "you know he's your cousin right?" She got so excited and sat up in her seat and says, "Michael Embree's my cousin!" I said "yea he's Jessica's son".   She replied, "ooohhhhh, I remember them now". Brittany and I had just moved to Ridgecrest in 2007 from Redondo Beach and she was just getting reaquaintted with family here.  She was excited to call them cousins.  And just below Jessica is her dad and our uncle Jimmy Embree a wonderful man. I more then miss my little girl, my best friend, my reason for living, my purpose in life, my only daughter, my only child.  And its with excruciating pain in my soul and in my heart.  My life is forever changed and I absolutely hate it. Its hard as hell to go on living without her.  But I have to.   Some days its so hard to get out of bed.  Why should I?  I really don't have a reason. But I do get up.  I smile, I move on with my day, I hold back the tears and pretend that everything is ok.  The mask to hide my great sadness I'll wear for the rest of my life.


       SHE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR THOSE SHE LOVED...
                            
                                        SHE EVEN TOOK A BULLET!  

Brittany aka Hippie brought a light so great into this world that even after she left her light remains

Dear God,

I miss my daughter. I carry her memory with me wherever I go.

I pray that you will remind me that she remains a part of me in everything that I do, and everything I am.

Continue to show me that she is still a part of my life and that nothing can seperate us.

I ask that you keep the bonds between us strong in spirit until the day that we are reunited in your Kingdom. I ask you this in Jesus' name

                        -Amen

Mom is to tired to function

June 29, 2016

Brittany and I lived in a one bedroom triplex in Redondo Beach.  We had a day bed with a trundel that pulled out for her to sleep on.  One night when she was about 9 or 10 I was really really tired and layed down on her bed and she was on mine. I was so so tired and shekept messing with me.  She was tickling my face with a string or something and it kept waking me up. But I was so out of it that I didn't completely wake up. I was somewhere between sleep and awake and saying goofy things. She was busting up laughing at me and getting complete enjoyment out of it. She did this a few times before I got real mad and she stopped.  Thinking back on it now,it is pretty funny.

Yesterday 6/28/2016 I worked from 3:00am-10:30am. When I got home I layed down to rest a minute.  I fell asleep and I dreamed that I was laying on a couch on my back with my hands behind my head and sleeping.  Brittany was kneeling down at the end of the couch near my head so I couldn't see her. She was taking two of my fingers and twisting them together and letting go.  Sort of like flicking them together. I could almost feel myself saying goofy things and wiggling trying to turn around to see her. Again, she was laughing so hard and getting total amusement out of messing with me while I was in that goofy state between sleep and awake. As I was trying to turn around to see her I heard a sound outside that woke me up from my dream.  And all I could do was smile and thank God for the dream and the precious memory.  I MISS HER SO MUCH!!! <3_XOXO 

Her Golden Birthday

April 7, 2016

When Brittany turned 11 years old I had a limo pick her up from school,  it was a surprise. I couldn't be in the limo like I wanted to be because I had a meeting at work that I couldn't get out of.  I did call her on her on her cell phone, or maybe it was my neighbor Brigit's phone I can't remember.  But I did talk to her when she was at the limo.  She was so so excited, she kept saying, "oh my God....oh my God....oh my God" I could just see the smile on her face as she said these words.  It had to be a smile that reached futher then ear-to-ear. She could barely say anythging else. So...we all met at our house, Me, Brittany, Ashley, Bridgit (ashley's mom and my friend and neighbor) and a couple of Britt's friends from school.  We had the driver take us to Santa Monica to a nice restaurant for dinner.  Can't remember the name of the place. We had the whole place to ourselves. It was great!!! If we would have got there any later we wouldn't of had our little private  party because as we were leaving the dinner crowd was just getting there.  We got back into her limo and drove around a bit then the driver dropped us off at home.  Many thanks go out to Bridgit who helped make this happen. She had to intercept the limo at my house to go to the sdhool for Britt cuz I had that stupid meeting. Thank you Brigit my friend and neighbor who did so much for me.
