Mary C Brown

Mary C. Brown passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 5, 2025 after a 2-year battle with dementia, at the age of 92. She was born to the late Caroline and Samuel Clayton in Cecil, Alabama on June 5, 1933. Up until the end Mary maintained her kindness, grace, compassion, appreciation of beauty, love of family and friends, and expressed gratitude for her long life, full of wonderful and varied experiences. She came to know the True God and made a dedication and subsequently got baptized 54 years ago, in April 1971, along with her two daughters, Mary Loretta, and Vivian, as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. During this time, she affectionately became known as, Grandma Brown to many in the Steubenville Congregation, where many close bonds were formed, and lifelong friendships were cemented.

Mary was immensely proud of her family, and leaves nothing but beautiful memories. She was the ultimate hostess and loved to show off her culinary skills, she delighted in preparing tasty food to share with her family and friends, with two home-made family favorites, sweet potato pie and German chocolate cake.

Mary is survived by two children: Vivian Bowling (Charlie) of Washington, DC and Samuel G. Brown, Jr., of Temple Hills, MD,. She is also survived by 6 grandchildren: Michelle T. McCants, Loran Brown, Chandrika Bates, Michael T. McCants II, Damian Brown, and Samuel G. Brown 3rd; 5 great-grandchildren, Arianna Brown, Noah Brown, Camille Bates, Branson Brown, and Penelleope Brown; a sister Louise David, and a host of nieces and nephews.

Poem:

Mother

Missing You. . .

Your tenderness and loving ways

Still get us through our lonely days

The picture carries in our minds

With love that stands the test of time

You helped us find our walking shoes

And taught us lessons we still use

Each time we think of you, we smile

We know we’ll see you

In a little while!

To our Dear Mother

Fondly missed by her Children, Grands, &

Great Grand, Sister & entire Family & Friends
