Our beloved mother, Mrs. Mary Ellen Brown Kendrick was welcomed to this world on December 5, 1943 in Wilcox County,  Georgia.  She was born to the late Mr. Diona Brown and the late Mrs. Ruthie S. Brown.

Committing her life to the service of the Lord, she united with the Mount Air Baptist Church.  She served faithfully as the Mother of the Church and willingly served whenever called upon.

“Aunt Mary,” as she was known in the community, enjoyed preparing Sunday meals.  It was always a special time for her.  She  welcomed the opportunity to cook and be with her family.  She also took great pride in babysitting her great grandchildren.  She also loved to go fishing.

She would often busy herself by visiting her best friend and ride around town.  She also loved taking care of her  dog, “Tinker Bell,” which was the joy of her heart.
