Agnes Feazel Brown

Agnes Feazel Brown went home to be with her Lord and Savior on October 22, 2025 at home just as she wished at age 97. She had been in hospice care for five months. Left to cherish her memory and celebrate her arrival before Jesus and family that have gone before are her daughters, N. Carol Brown, of Shreveport, Donna B. Smith, her son-in-law, Tim Smith, and granddaughter, Olivia Smith, and her son, Ronald W. Brown, partner Julie Jacobus and adopted grandson of love, Glenn Pearson; sister, Doris Rambin of Mansfield, LA; as well as numerous loved nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her beloved adopted family members, Marcia Mounce and James Norris.

Mrs. Brown was born in rural Natchitoches Parish on June 1, 1928, the second of four children to James Forrest Feazel and Ina Pauline Woods Feazel. She is predeceased by her husband of 41 years, Troyce A. Brown; daughter, A. Kay Brown; sister, Margarete Feazel Brown Duncan; brother and sister-in-law, Doug and Shirley Feazel; and brother-in-law, James Rambin.

Mrs. Brown was a member of First Baptist Church of Greenwood for over 60 years, although was unable to attend regularly for most of those years. Later in life, she loved her Sunday School Class and made close friends there.

She was a registered nurse from Northwestern State College’s first nursing class in 1952. She worked at Confederate Memorial Hospital, now known as Ochsner LSU Health and helped move patients from its original facility on Texas Street to its current location on Kings Highway. After the birth of her second daughter, she became a full-time mother.

The family wishes to sincerely thank the kind and loving sitters that have cared for our mother over that past months: Rosa LaRey and Glory Breland for their friendship and care on the long 12-hour night shifts. They cared for her and offered their companionship and love to her. And to Colby (like the cheese) Henderson, who spent eight hours, sometimes 10, five days a week being helpful, cheerful, reading the Bible to Mama, particularly when she could no longer see the words for herself. You ladies represent the best of your profession.

A graveside service will be held at Spring Ridge Cemetery in Sabine Parish on Monday, October 27, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. led by Brother Joe Bob Alexander.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation be made to Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home, P O Box 4196, Monroe, LA 71211.
