Evelyn Maud Brown

Evelyn was born on April 2nd 1945 on the beautiful island of Jamaica. There she spent her primitive years with her family that consisted of 7 siblings. In the late 1960’s she migrated to the Bronx, New York. There Evelyn met and fell in love with George Brown. They then went on to marry and have beautiful children Sean Leon Brown and Yvette D. Brown. Evelyn took pride in her family and was a true wife and mother.

Evelyn was employed as a nurse for the majority of her life; inclusive of 35 plus years. She was a natural with patients and many families have expressed their fond memories of her and her attentiveness and care in her practice. “ She was one of the hardest working, and caring nurses I have ever worked with. She had a real heart, cared deeply about her patients and gave them excellent care.”

Evelyn had the biggest heart and the most beautiful smile. She was a private and quiet person, but also very witty and fun! She was fearless and independent, yet sensitive and incredibly compassionate. As a woman of deep faith, Evelyn devoted her life to God. She began every day with a heartfelt prayer and a reading from the Bible. If you were a friend in need, she never hesitated to drop to her knees and pray for you. Evelyn had a warm and nurturing spirit—she would welcome you into her home, prepare a comforting cup of tea, and offer heartfelt Christian advice to help guide you through life’s challenges.

She is survived by her children, Yvette Brown and Sean Brown. Her grandchildren, DaVonte Brown, Kalena Brown, Kymora Sanders, Tytianna Sanders, and Sinia Sanders. Also, her great-grandchild, Khayir Shelton. She is also survived by her brothers, and by several loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Evelyn was a beautiful person inside and out. Her smile was so stunning it would light up the whole room. She cared so deeply for the people around her. She was so kind and passionate. She made an impact on many lives. She will be forever missed. Until we meet again
