Mary Madgalene Brown age 90 of La Marque, passed away surrounded by her loving family and friends, Wednesday, December 26, 2012 at her residence in La Marque. Funeral services are 11:00 am Thursday, January 3, 2013 at Carnes Brothers Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Lakeview Cemetery in Galveston.

Born December 4, 1922 in Lehigh, Oklahoma to Joel Smith and Antoine Rucker Smith, Mary attended Green Bay Schools in Palestine, Texas. She accepted Christ at an early age and was a seamstress by trade. It was amazing how her work transferred to her family life as she was the thread that kept the family strong and together. She was first affiliated with the
Green Bay AME Church in Palestine and then became affiliated with Bible Days Revival Church, Word of Faith Christian Life Center and the St. Emmanuel Ministries.

Mary Brown was my very best friend's mother, Gwendolyn Brown. I have known Gwen for over 30 years and knew both her father Harvie and her mother. I have always considered them to be my second parents. I pray for the family every day and night. Lauriesmommy
