Willie G. Brown, age 89, a resident of Browntown Road in Sparta, Tennessee, went peacefully to be with her Lord and Savior, and reunite with her husband who she missed for 17 years, on Thursday, April 3, 2025 at her home surrounded by her family. She was born July 3, 1935 in Sparta, TN.

She was faithful follower of Christ and a Precious Prayer Warrior.  She was a valued and founding member of the Freedom Baptist Church in Walling,TN.  Known by friends and family as the BEST cook! Her fried chicken, apple layer cake, turnip greens, green beans, biscuit & gravy, and chicken & dumplings were second to none.

Her valuable lessons she taught her family as to what it truly means to know Christ and his Plan of Salvation was always a passionate topic for her. Her daily prayer included each of her children and their families, friends, and her church family.  And Yes! she called them each out by name! Always praying for Christ's love and protection, for Jesus to supply their daily needs, provide strength and comfort, not to let them be in any accidents and watch over them daily.

She will be greatly missed down here on this earth, by many.  But with the Love of Jesus and faith in him, we each will see her again in his Home of Glory.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years: S.D. Brown, her parents: John & Betty Roberts, 2 children: Deborah Deck and Rodger Brown, 2 Grandchildren: Daryel Brown and Angelia Secord

She is survived by her 3 daughters:  Janis (Late Bob) Prater, Rhonda (Late Stan) Hawkins, Vicky (Burford) Cole

2 Sons:  Jim (Judy) Brown and Stephen (Misty) Brown

2 Sisters:  Bonnie Murphy & Lois Eller

1 Brother:  Alton Roberts
