Obituary for KIZZIE BROWN
Kizzie Brown, better known as Nurdy, Brown, Nana, Momma, Ms. Kizzie, and Grandma, was born to the late Warren and Emma Brown on July 28, 1923, in Prince Frederick, Maryland.
Momma received her education at Calvert County Public Schools. She started working on the farm at an early age to help her parents. Momma had an array of occupations such as Sexton, Cook, Domestic Worker, and Day Care Provider. No job was too hard for Momma.
Momma joined Patuxent United Methodist Church under the leadership of Rev. Bullet. As a young girl she was encouraged by her Mother to develop a deeper relationship with God. In doing so, she served in many capacities such as cook, singing on the choir, and church custodian. She had a deep love for the outreach ministry and to serve the community when needed. She always gave her, last to help those who were less fortunate. Momma was baptized in 1983 by her son-in-law, Bishop Daniel Jones at Free Gospel Church in Coral Hills, Maryland.
Momma loved to farm! She raised chickens, turkeys, and pigs. She even went as far as to name her favorite pigs after her children!! Her favorite time of the year was harvest time, where she prepared for the winter by canning, preserving, and gathering anything she could put in a jar. Another pastime was baking her sweet potato pies where people came from near and far to collect her scrumptious baked delights.
On a spiritual note, she loved watching and listening to the gospel programs on the radio and television such as Hoppy Adams, Jimmy Swaggart, Bobby Jones, Joel Osteen, and the ministry of Bethel Way of the Cross Church in Huntingtown, Maryland. Momma was something else. She created an altar for the Lord in her bedroom ... it was her door. You would find her praying many a day, and when asked what she was doing, she would kindly let you know that she was talking to her Jesus.
There are also television shows that Momma enjoyed watching that made her laugh, including Judge Judy, The Golden Girls, Wheel of Fortune, Family Feud and Everybody Loves Raymond, until Raymond mistreated his brother.
Momma had a love for everybody, especially her children and family! The apples of her eyes were Brucie Boy, Nina Pooh, and Meatball. Oh! And don't forget her extended family: the Whelans, the Evans, the Bucklers, the Buckmasters, the O'Neills, the Bowens, the Sunderlands, the Schwallenbergs, the Pereiras and Leonie Nishihwe, who she adopted from Africa. Not to forget, Crickett (her favorite doll), and Tuffy (her favorite doggie).
Momma left to cherish her legacy Elsie Mae (Daniel), Carl (Diane), Annette (Chester), and Bruce. Grandchildren: Maurice (Yvonne), Tiffany, Nina (Glenn), Jeffrey, Ronnie, Monique, Shelly, Gregory, and Rudolph. She adopted Sade and Jessica also as grandchildren. Great-Grandchildren, Daniel, Donte, Rolanda, and Trinity; Great-Great-Grandchildren, Daniel, Diaquan, Omari, Donta, and Na Zeef; one brother, Joseph Brown (Glenda); one sister, Willie Mae (Irving) Cooke; Special children, Margaret, Alma, Kenny, Doris, Vonceal, Rodney, Lisa,Junior, and a host of nieces, nephews, and special friends.
