Brenda (Meeks) Brown

Brenda Meeks Brown, born February 27, 1945, of Millen, Georgia, passed away on December 30, 2024, at the age of 79 due to complications from Alzheimer’s Disease. 

Brenda was the cherished daughter of Lee Caswell “L.C.” Meeks and Myrtle Findley Meeks. After her father’s passing, her mother and stepfather, Jack Brinson, lovingly raised her.  Brenda briefly attended Georgia Southern University before embarking on a career that took her to Washington, D.C., where she worked as a secretary for both Georgia Senator Richard B. Russell and the FBI.  Brenda was deeply devoted to her faith and family, values that guided her throughout her life.

She is survived by her children, Mary Elizabeth Brown of Marietta, GA., David Brewster Brown and wife Denise of Hoschton, GA., and Stephen Findley Brown and wife Pamela of Decatur, GA.; her older brother, Noel Carlton Meeks and wife Peggy.  Her legacy also lives on through her grandchildren, Andrew Brown and wife Shalea, Elizabeth Elbert and husband Steffen, Maddie Herbik, Rand Herbik, and Peyton Brown; as well as her great-grandchildren, Tristan Webb, Paisley Brown, and Tommy Brown.  She will also be fondly remembered by numerous beloved cousins.

Brenda’s unwavering love for the Lord and her family left an indelible mark on all who knew her.  May her memory bring comfort to those who mourn her passing.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Saturday afternoon, January 4, 2025, from 1:00 until just prior to the funeral service at 2:00 in the chapel of Ronald V.
