IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Katie Dell
Brown
May 25, 1916 — Oct 26, 2015
Grove Hill
Obituary
Mother Katie Dell Brown peacefully entered into eternal rest Monday, October 26, 2015 at Grove Hill Memorial Hospital in her 99th year.
She was born May 25, 1916 in Whatley, AL to the parentage of the late Jack and Annie Rodgers. She was their firstborn.
Mother Katie Brown will be sadly missed but lovingly remembered. She loved the outdoors and her flower garden. She could often be seen admiring beautiful plants. She spent countless hours doing yard work.
Mother Brown led a very full, Christian life that enriched the lives of many. Whether a family member, friend, or acquaintance, within spending a few moments with her, it was clear she was a unique, fascinating individual. Those who got to know her well felt privileged to have done so, and she was just simply "Kate" to all. She knew how to enjoy the simple things in life and that sharing such moments with those who mattered most to her was perhaps the greatest joy of all.
She confessed Christ at an early age and was a lifelong faithful member of Whatley AOH Church of God.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Essie Brown; daughter, Lucille Young; son, Percy Brown; sister, Elsie Jackson; brothers, Isaiah and James Rodgers.
She leaves to cherish her memories, three devoted daughters; Joann Mickles of Jamaica, NY; Frances Early and Effie (Willie) Mitchell, both of Grove Hill, AL; a devoted and loving brother (her best friend), Overseer Heary Rodgers of Whatley, AL; a devoted sister, Gladys Robinson of Grove Hill, AL; 14 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren; a host of devoted and loving nieces and nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends; a devoted friend, Willie Mae Pace Anderson of Vineland, AL; devoted and loving Church Mothers: Missionary Mother Queen Ivory, Mother Ellen Foreman, Mother Ruth Howard, Mother Bertha Ezell, and Mother Annie Horn; and a caring and loving church family.
Viewing Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015, 10-11am at Whatley AOH Church of God, 3068 Piney Woods Road, Whatley, AL 36482. Following the committal in the church cemetery, the family will receive friends in the fellowship hall of the church.
The Andrews Family and Staff ask your continued prayers for the Rodgers and Brown Family.
