Courtney was the first child born on July 29, 1978, to the union of Ron and Judy McCready. Joining her as siblings in this family were Tyler in 1980 and Zach in 1984. Courtney was born and raised in Winner, and ultimately returned to Winner to raise her family. She graduated from Winner High School in 1996 and pursued her secondary education at South Dakota State University, where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in 2000. Courtney later attended the University of South Dakota and obtained her graduate certificate in Child & Adult Advocacy Studies in December of 2022.
On Aug. 17, 2002, Courtney entered into her Godly marriage and lifelong commitment with Jon Weston Brozik. This loyal and joyful partnership was blessed with two children, Ellie and Maxton. They lived their entire lives and raised their family in Winner, South Dakota.
After completing her schooling, Courtney began a career of service of helping others. Her first opportunity began at the Chamberlain Academy in Chamberlain, South Dakota. Next, Courtney worked for the South Dakota Department of Social Services in the Child Protection division. In 2004, she began her career with Southern Plains Behavioral Health Services in Winner, South Dakota, and was employed in that capacity until the time of her passing. Throughout her lifetime and employment, she has positively impacted countless lives, often times going without notice or recognition.
Courtney is a lifelong member of the Trinity Lutheran church in Winner, South Dakota. She also served as a board member for the Tripp County Library and was a member of the Winner Rotary Club and Winner Quarterback Club.
She was an avid sports fan of the children in Winner, especially her Lady Warriors and Warriors. She could always be found following and supporting her children, Ellie and Maxton, in all of their activities. If there happened to be two of the kids’ activities at the same time, she would follow one, while still following the other through livestream. They were her pride and joy!
When Courtney wasn’t giving herself to the area children, organizations, agencies, or following her children, she found joy in her own activities. She loved to scrapbook, collect antiques and refurbish them, and spend countless hours on the phone with her closest friends. She was a concert enthusiast, always ready to go, no matter the performer or location. She cherished her time spent with her closest friends.
