Bessie Mae (Hill) Brown

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:6–8.

Bessie Mae Brown (Hill) was born May 28, 1931, in Monroe, Louisiana to the late Theophilus Hill and Ceola Hendrix Hill. She was one of 10 children, five of which preceded her in death.

Early in life she and her family moved to Monroe, Louisiana where she united with Allen Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

She united in Holy Matrimony to the love of her life, Leon Brown and they relocated to Los Angeles, California with their family and she became extremely active with her church Choir.
