Margaret Brown was born on May 10, 1926 to Elmore and Dora Carr Gee, in the loving home of her paternal grandparents, in Dendron, Virginia. Margaret transitioned from this life into the arms of her Heavenly Father on October 8, 2020, the result of complications following Covid-19 infection.
As an infant, Margaret's family moved to Norfolk, Virginia where they attended the First Calvary Baptist Church. At age nine, Margaret's family moved to Washington, DC where she attended the Tenth Street Baptist Church. In 1952, a fellow co-worker invited Margaret to attend service at the First Baptist Church of Deanwood where she soon thereafter became a member. She sat on the Senior Usher Board, was a missionary, and a member of the Friendly Circle Group. She was baptized by Reverend Allen in 1953, and remained a devoted member until her death.
In the summer of 1957, Margaret met the love of her life, Lewis (Lew) Brown. The couple married in 1958, and have two children Karen and Lewis Michael. In 1971 the family moved to Brandywine, Maryland to build their dream house. It took 2 ½ years from start to completion and was, for decades, the venue for hosting all the family gatherings.
Margaret was a social butterfly and enjoyed years long memberships in the Femmes Continental, Jack & Jill, Bonanza Club, and Club 39ers. Margaret and Lewis also hosted many parties and were best known for their annual Christmas/New Years holiday brunches. Her hobbies included canning fruits and vegetables, playing games, puzzles, surfing the web (for fashion), watching Wizards games, and traveling.
Margaret is survived by her husband of 61 years, Lewis E. Brown; her children Karen (Jerome) and Lewis Michael; her grandchildren Christina, Ashley (Fred), Charles, Shaye, Jeffrey (Liz), Ronje’, Michael Tsade, Izaiah, Aaron, and Izrael; her great grandchildren Zoe, Avery, and Cataleya; and, a host of extended family members and friends.
