Faye S. Brown, a resident of West Monroe, joined Jesus in her Heavenly home February 16, 2025. She was born in Forest, LA on April 16, 1933. She grew up in Oak Grove and Rayville. She went to work in Rogers Clinic in Winnsboro where she met Joseph Free, married and had two children. They moved to Monroe, and she became a Louisiana Practical Nurse, and worked at Conway Hospital in surgery recovery and their outpatient clinic for 33 years. After losing Joe in 1985, she reconnected with a friend, Robert Brown, affectionately known as Bobby, who had become a Baptist preacher. They married and were together until she lost Bobby in 2015. Faye loved her home and yard. She kept such a variety of flowers; people would just stop and ask to see them. She will be remembered for loving the Lord, helping others, riding her John Deere tractor lawn mower, and precious smile.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Cleo Strahan and Ellen Strong Strahan; husband, Joe Free; daughter, Carolyn Free Robertson; husband, Reverend Bobby Brown; and all of her siblings.
Loving survivors are her son, Wayne Free (Deanna); stepson, Allen Brown (Donna); stepdaughter, Ann Brown Taylor (Charlie); grandchildren, Jason Robertson (Kristy), Barry Free (Pam), Tiffany Free, Ross Free, Chrissie Brown Cascio (Casey), Casey Brown, and Ryan Taylor; nine great grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews.
