Frances Louise Brown

Mrs. Frances Louise Brown passed away peacefully at home and walked into the arms of Jesus on September 2, 2022, with her family by her side. She was born Frances Louise Frazier on April 17, 1942, to Charles and Irene Frazier. She grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. 

Frances was educated in the Kansas City School District and graduated from East High School. Frances worked in a variety of jobs, including Western Electric, Sears and Horizon Health Care, where she assisted young men who were        emotionally and mentally challenged. Frances was like a mother figure to those she cared for, teaching them invaluable life skills. She would retire from this job.

Frances married right out of high school, and was blessed with two sons from that union, the marriage later was dissolved. Frances met and married Ronald Brown Sr. on September 23, 1966, who had a daughter from his previous marriage. Their blended family came equipped with three children, and three more children were added to their union, giving them a grand total of six children.

Frances enjoyed life, family, and friends, and she loved R&B music, with Luther Vandross being one of her favorite artists. She enjoyed dancing and was always ready to share her famous four-corners dance move, just ask any of her six children, who can probably all bust that move on the dance floor.  She loved   cooking; she and her late husband Ronald Brown Sr. often entertained family and friends. They were especially known for hosting delicious shrimp & crawdad  boils that were enjoyed by all.  She was a loving, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.

Frances accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior on Easter Sunday 2021.  Her newfound faith assisted her in accepting her cancer diagnosis and gave her the strength to live each day with a smile on her face and joy in her heart. Her comfort came from knowing that she would live in eternity with Jesus Christ. According to scriptures such as Romans 10:9, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that  he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

Frances was preceded in death by both parents Charles and Irene Frazier;  husband Ronald Brown Sr., two brothers, Kenneth and Arthur Frazier, four      sisters, Rosalee Nelson, Sylvia Johnson, Gloria Robinson and Brenda Frazier,  and two granddaughters, Keinyell and Maurkita Dean.
