Elizabeth Jones Brown, 93, of Marietta GA, formerly of St. Simons Island, GA died on April 12, 2012. Mrs. Brown was preceded in death by her husband Rev. Bernard L. Brown, Sr., a United Methodist Church pastor. They served in ministry together throughout the South Georgia Conference for over 50 years. During and after Rev.
