Margarette and I grew up together and went to church at Rosewood Methodist. Our parents were great friends (Jimmie and Thomas Dill) we spent lots of time playing games at each other’s homes. We were in MYF together. I’m so saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I have such fond memories of our young years.

I did not know Mrs. Brown personally, but I remember how she and her husband ministered to Brenda and Larry Forbis when they lost their oldest daughter to a car wreck. From that perspective, I know she lived her life to serve Jesus. Thinking and praying for all her family and friends at this time. Sincerely Chris Shoemake

To know Mrs Margarette was to love her. Her love for the Lord was so profound and obvious. You never saw her without Mr. Rusty. The epitome of what a Godly life and marriage should look like. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts, love and prayers are with the Brown family and all those who are grieving the loss of this precious lady that I too will miss terribly.
