Hazel Mylene Busbee Brett

Hazel Mylene Busbee Brett, of Chattahoochee Hills, GA, passed away August 24, 2023, after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Born June 24, 1940, in Cordele, GA, Mylene was the daughter of Robert Houston and Lulabelle McDaniel Busbee. She was a graduate of West Crisp High School (Cordele) and Massey Business College (Atlanta). In high school, she was a star basketball athlete. During college, she met Donald Brett and they married June 19, 1960. Mylene and Donald had two sons, Greg and Glenn. The Lord called the family to move around Georgia several times during Donald’s ministry where Mylene always served as church pianist. During Mylene’s professional career, she most enjoyed her role as a benefits counselor for the Georgia Department of Veterans Services, retiring in 2010.

In addition to her parents, preceding her in death are her brother Jimmy, and brother in- law and sister in-law Earl and Peggy Brett. Surviving are her husband, Dr. Donald Brett, of Chattahoochee Hills; sons Greg and his wife Melea of Chattahoochee Hills and Glenn of Woodstock; Grandchildren: Taylor (Sasha), Duncan, Anna Claire and Chloe; Great grandchildren Jayden, Nixon, Arabella, Everly and Selah Grace. Also surviving are sister Verna Borders, brother Robert Busbee (June) and sister in-law Ruth Busbee; Brother’s in-law Ronald Brett (Cecelia) and Mike Brett (Dena); and, nieces and nephews.

Mylene had a contagious enthusiasm for life and always a smile on her face. In a recent, random, conversation she said, “You know we Girl Scouts leave the world better than we found it.” Actually, Mylene wasn’t a Girl Scout, but her comment is very descriptive of life...she left every moment, every person and the world overall a better place.

In lieu of flowers and donations, please seek out a veteran in your family or community and tell them, “On behalf of Mylene, ‘Thank you for your service.’”  A service celebrating Mylene’s life will take place at a later date.
