Marie Brown of Oakland, Tennessee, died peacefully early Wednesday morning, May 7, 2025. She was born on March 28, 1931, to John and Etta Eaton. She is preceded in death by her two parents, her husband of 57 years, Aubrey L. Brown, her brothers Lloyd, Jack, and J.W., and her sisters Willie Mae, Dorothy, and Mildred Rebecca. She is survived by one daughter, Brenda Brown McCullough, one son, Aubrey L. Brown, Jr., one grandson, Tommy Kellum, two great-granddaughters, Margaret Rose Bailey and Elizabeth Kellum, her sister Shirley Holmes, and many nieces and nephews.
She was loved by everyone. She had a wicked sense of humor and was a great storyteller. Her age did not define her. Her friends spanned generations, and she made everyone feel welcome and comfortable in any setting. She often said that her mission in life was to make people smile, and she did. She found the positive in everyone.
The family invites friends to gather Friday May 9, 2025 for visitation from 10:00 until the service at 11:00 at Memorial Park Funeral Home and Cemetery 5668 Poplar Ave Memphis, Tn 38119
In lieu of flowers please donate to St. Jude. She loved children.
