Inez Brown

Inez left this world the way she entered, filling every life she touched with love and hope. The summary of her life would take volumes, but the sum of it was simple. She was a giver. Her life was a life of unconditional love, unparalleled respect for life, and an unwavering commitment to God, her family, her ministry and her lifelong friends. She was an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Church of God for over 66 yrs. Inez was a key contributor to standardized regulation of the TX Nursing Home industry in the 1960's, and owned 7 facilities in her 55+ year career.

Inez was born on July 15, 1924. She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Charles Brown; her granddaughter, Valerie Lambert; her parents, Frank & Mata Matthews; 3 brothers and a sister-in-law, W.M., Melvin, Frank Jr. & Margaret Matthews; brother-in-law, J.E. Scheumack; 2 nephews; and 1 niece.

She is survived by her daughter, Evelyn Hanson, & husband, Henry; her son, Rick Brown & wife, Glenda; 5 grandchildren: Ryan, Chaunté, Miranda, Natalia, and Noel; 2 great grand children: Aurora & Layla; 1 sister, Odessa Scheumack; 2 brothers, Richard Matthews & wife, Carol, and Milton Matthews; sisters-in-law, Sue & Shirley Matthews; many nieces and nephews.
