Ms. Lorraine Olivia Brown

Lorraine Olivia (Young) Brown entered this life on September 1, 1958. She was one of two children born to Maetta P. Young of Washington, DC. Lorraine was educated in Washington, DC where she met and married Reginald M. Browne Sr. Born to this union were two sons, Reginald M. Browne Jr., and Michael A. Browne. Lorraine’s career began as a taxi driver in the DMV. However, her love of being behind the wheel and on the road landed her a job as an Alexandria Public School Bus Driver, where she later became the Union President. Lorraine was also a travel agent that enjoyed cruises, domestic and international travel. She ended her working career as a Uber, Lyft and private driver in the Dallas, Texas area before returning home to retire in Washington, DC. Lorraine accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age and lived a life committed to serving the Lord. She served as an Usher at Ben Hill United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, from 2009 to 2018. She relocated to Texas and joined Friendship Baptist Church of the Colony in Colony, Texas and was a faithful member of the Mature Members Group. Lorraine enjoyed traveling, driving, reading, puzzles and gospel music. But most of all she enjoyed spending time with family. Lorraine leaves to cherish her memory her mother Maetta P. Young, one brother Carlton D. Young; two sons, Reginald M. Browne, Jr., and Michael A. Browne; sister-aunt Theresa P. Boyd, cousins April M. Boyd-Melvin, Olivia M. Boyd, Josiah C. Melvin, Jacob A. Melvin, Johnny L. Boyd II; nephews Derek Rowe, Dominic Young, Damien Young, and a host of relatives and friends. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lorraine, I am so happy you knew and Loved the Lord. I remember you calling me from the hospital, asking me to sing “God will Take Care of you” over the phone. I told you I didn’t remember all the words, but I made up some and I pray it comforted you. I will miss our travel, the many cruises and land trips we took together to places near and far. I Love You and really miss you, but I know God loved you more and called you home to rest peacefully in Heaven. Love, Mother ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lorraine, God Called You Home God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, So, He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be Thine". It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you the day God called you home. Love, The Family
