Mechelle Lynette Brown, loved affectionally by her family and friends as "Chelle", was born the eldest of three beautiful girls to the late Mr. & Mrs. Joseph (Wilhemenia) Brown of Atlanta, Georgia. At a very early age, "Chelle" learned the importance of true family love and trusting God. When the Brown girl's precious mother, Wilhemenia was called to be with the Lord, "Chelle" faithfully embraced her role as big sister to her then younger siblings Adrienne and Urike. Though the dynamics of the family changed, the sister bond between them grew much stronger over their adolescent years. During the unexpected life experiences, "Chelle's" relationship and love for God became more pertinent. Even in her youth, "Chelle" believed that with God all things were possible.

After years of developing her gift for nurturing her two little sisters, God blessed the Brown family with, Latrice. With this union, "Chelle" was blessed with two more beautiful sisters, Neshieka and Ashley. As the eldest, this was not a difficult task to undertake for "Chelle". She quickly concluded that with more sisters to love, there would be more opportunities to minister........and she did. Thus her ministry for nurturing and caring for others continued in the Brown's family.

Mechelle was educated in the Atlanta and DeKalb County School Systems. Her elementary and middle schools years were spent happily at Fred A. Toomer and Sammye:E. Coan in the Kirkwood community. Her high school years were spent at Walker High School (now Ronald E. McNair High School), where she proudly graduated in the Class of 1980. After high school, Mechelle furthered her educational career at Atlanta Area Technical College, Georgia State University, and Pro-Way Cosmetology Schools. During her matriculating, Mechelle continued to praise God for blessing her with wonderful gifts and talents. She soon accepted that her professional life was blossoming like a beautiful flower and vowed to continue perfecting that which God had anointed with. The diversity of her employment included, but not limited to, many dedicated and devoted years of service with Bank of America, and Reliance Bank. Mechelle was currently employed by Parallon Business Solutions as a medical analyst. As a dedicated and devoted employee, she continued to express her love to a new group people. On Mechelle's life journey she never met a stranger. Her loving and kind spirit left a warm indelible impression on those whose path she crossed.

Although Mechelle had a strong bond with her immediate family, her motherly instincts were extremely apparent as she nurtured her niece, Sydni and nephews, Anterance, Cyrus, and Myles. They were indeed her pride and joy. To them, she was known as "Moma Chelle" and one of the best aunts in the world, partly because she spoiled each of them individually with her love, commitment, and support. Many times she proudly attended their activities and programs, she boasted of their accomplishments as if she was their mother. Sisters lovingly agreed to allow Mechelle to share in some of the responsibilities of her niece and nephews. Even after reaching adulthood, Mechelle still felt compelled to offer motherly advice to Adrienne, Urike, Ashley, and Neshieka. They all had to lovingly remind her that "Morna Chelle" was for the niece and nephews only! Mechelle was truly a welcomed blessing in each of their lives. She will forever live in their hearts.
