LaQuita Brown Obituary

LaQuita C. Brown was born on November 20, 1979 in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She fell asleep in death on May 31, 2019.LaQuita “Quita� had a warm smile and a contagious laugh that brightened everyone’s mood. She was admired and respected by all. The thoughtfulness and joy on her face will never be forgotten. At the age of 16, LaQuita symbolized her dedication to Jehovah by undergoing water baptism on July 27, 1996. She took her dedication to God seriously and shared truths from God’s word with anyone who would listen. She chose the ministry as her vocation.LaQuita enjoyed many privileges of service and performed all with zeal and humility. As Psalm 110:3 states "Your people will offer themselves willingly." This Scripture well describes LaQuita Brown. She was a willing volunteer with the Regional Building Committee in Virginia, later to be called Local Design Construction. Her diligent efforts in the construction of many Kingdom Halls in the Hampton Roads area were well observed by others. She spent many days working with the HVAC Department, specializing in the tie-in crew. LaQuita was a very determined person who would not give up until the work was completed. She worked tirelessly with a smile. "Quita" was also such an asset as a volunteer Local Project Regulatory Consultant. Her experience in the real estate field, particularly as a Right-of-Way Technician, proved to be an invaluable service. She was always willing to share her knowledge in order to help others. How we long for the day when Quita will put her skills to use in God's New World.In 2006 LaQuita expanded her ministry by joining a small group of publisher learning French. Serving in the foreign language field allowed her to speak to the hearts of people who needed answers to life’s challenging questions, such as “Why do bad things happen to good people?�, and "What is the purpose of life?� LaQuita attended Pioneer Service School in English in 1999 and for French speaking publishers in 2018. She enjoyed the privilege of preaching in Haiti and West Africa.LaQuita loved spending time with children. She had a profound affect on the spiritual development of many that she came into contact with. LaQuita also enjoyed traveling, amusement parks, karaoke, dancing, playing games and cooking. Quita leaves to cherish her memory family and a host of friends.A memorial service will held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 15, 2019 at Harrison Opera House, 160 W Virginia Beach Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23510. Pretlow and Sons Funeral Home, 500 Liberty Street, Chesapeake is in charge of arrangements.

I did not have the honor of meeting LaQuita, saw her photo in the local newspaper on Long Island. I did not know we are from the same spiritual family of Jehovah's Witnesses.
I extend my sorrow to LaQuita's family and close friends and local congregation. No one can replace her. I also deeply regret the loss of other 11 victims and those injured on that tragic day.
I am happy to learn Sister Brown worked with true love sharing the good news about God's kingdom arrangement. My friends and I look forward to enjoying a secure, peaceful future with her on a splendid paradise earth.

I'm so sorry to hear that our dear sister is no longer here with us. But we all look forward to the promises that Jehovah has made regarding the future. We all look forward to seeing all our loved ones who are now resting. May Jehovah continue to give you the comfort and support in the days ahead.

Jehovah has truly wrapped his loving arms around the family and friends of Quita. I pray that in the coming days ahead you rely on Him and remember how much you all are loved! Quita was such a beautiful person who loved people tremendously and most of all she loved our Heavenly Father Jehovah. Ecclesiastes 7:1 rings true for her and soon we can see her again. I will never forget the positive and uplifting conversations we had and the wonderful way she had of making you feel like yes all will be ok. My sincere condolences to the Brown and Tanksley families.

Brown family, keep your faith, may the promises of God comfort you. When I saw Ms. LaQuita's photo with the others, on the news. I said to myself, that is an angel, she is resting with God. I didn't know her, but spirit revealed it to me. After reading and hearing of her life, that was confirmation, of what the spirit had revealed. Continue to cherish the beautiful memories of her.

Dear Brown and Tanksley families, we are so incredibly saddened by the loss of Quita. My heart is heavy as are the hearts of her spiritual family in PA that never knew her. My family had the privilege of knowing her since she was a teenager. She always had the biggest smile and her laugh. ...that laugh. I hadn't seen her for a few years...but that wonderful laugh rings in my ears. We all long for the day when Jehovah will let us all see that beautiful smile and hear that laugh again. May Jehovah hold you and comfort you until that day. The day our tears of sorrow will be replaced with tears of joy. Much much love, The Browns - Sean and Debi

Dear family, I was saddened to hear of Sister Browns death. She was obviously SO LOVED and SO PRECIOUS to Jehovah and her family as well as her local congregation. I know there will be a hole that cannot be filled in until the New System which we all so desperately long for for. Please be comforted in the words: "If He did not withhold the gift of his dear Son, then never doubt he'll give the strength you need". After reading about all the wonderful things she was involved in, I can't wait to meet her myself. Please know my warm embrace is with you at this moment, along with all your brothers and sisters around the Earth.

Dear Brown family, I'm a sister from Billerica, Ma. I'm so sorry your family has to endure such heartache. We know this was not what Jehovah ever wanted for his children, And we look forward to the day when he makes all things new and things such as this won't even reside in our memory. The news of my sister LaQuita especially hurt my heart as I was a friend of the sister this happened to in Las Vegas.... Rhonda LeRocque. Satans rule can't end quick enough for all Jehovah's people I look forward to seeing both of my sisters again in Jehovah's paradise.. your family is in my prayers for peace and comfort and strength at this sad time.

My deepest sympathy and prayers for comfort and strength goes out to the entire Brown Family. Along with you, my heart is torn in pieces and my mind is in disbelief. I had the pleasure of working with Quita when she worked in the Law dept. When I moved out of the area, she wanted me to put her in my suitcase and take her with me, lol. She was a phenomenal young lady inside and out. I pray you find comfort in the memories that you shared and hope you know many caring thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

To ALL of the family and all of us many friends of Laquita my heart and condolences go out to each and every one of you. I have known Laquita for a number of years; from when she first came to the Greenbrier Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Chesapeake Virginia. From the moment she stepped in that hall she was bubbly and energetic. I don't ever remember a time seeing Laquita down and out. Even when I didn't want to be bothered Laquita made sure she came and bothered me and that turned my day around. She was a true friend. Even when I moved away to New Jersey, we periodically would keep in contact even if it was a quick like on social media, just to let each other know "we're still there." Quita will forever be missed and loved but we know that as we continue to be faithful in this time of the end, we will see you in the new system.

Belva Journiette

Brown Family,

We hope the joys, good times, and memories you have of your LaQuita help to comfort you during this time of deep sadness.

Dear Family, I never knew La'Quita personally but I would see her periodically during assemblies and conventions and she always had a small that was larger than life. Looking at post about her on FB, I see that she loved and was loved by so many. Though not directly in knowing one another, it hit home because she was our spiritual sister. There are no words to express the feelings that you are currently going thru or what you will continue to experience thru the days or weeks to go but we are thankful that she was a servant of Jehovah for which she is now just waiting to be awaken. Thankful that she will not remember this tragedy when she awakens but instead she will still be smiling. Love you all
