W anda Adrianne Brown was born to Robert Lee Brown and the late Juanita Brown on May 2 6, 1970 in Philadelphia, P A.
At a very young age Wanda accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal savior and was baptized at the Upper Room Baptist Church. While attending she sang on the choir and served on the usher board.
Wanda was educated in the Philadelphia Public School System and graduated from Germantown High School in
1988.
She worked in the banking industry for three years and would later transition to Blue Cross / Blue Shield for twelve years until she became ill.
Wanda was a True Diva in every since of the word. She always dressed to impress and her hair was always FIERCE! She was a beautiful and loving spirit.
She was very devoted to her family and friends. She was also a great cook with her specialty dishes everyone craved: Seafood salad and Baked lasagna-umm umm good.
She leaves to mourn her memories: Her devoted father, Robert Lee Brown, one sister, Rochelle Baker and one brother, Robert Lee Brown, Jr., her godmother, "Ms. D ee", her dear cousin, Lisa McClendon and her Bff, Tracy Coleman, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews and friends.
Lovingly Submitted, The Family
"Please don 't say that I gave up Just say that I gave in.
Don 't say I lost the battle For it was God's war to lose or win.
Please don't say how good I was But that I did my best.
Just say I tried to do what's right To give the most I could, not less. Please don't give me wings or halos
That's for God to do I want no more than I deserve
No extras, just my due .. . Please don 't give me flowers Or talk in real hushed tones Don 't be concerned about me now I'm well with God, I've made it Hom e Don 't talk about what could have been
It 's over and it's done. Just see to all my family's needs
Especially the little ones ... When you draw a picture ofme
Don 't draw me as a saint I 've done some good, I've done some wrong
So use all your paint. Not just bright and light ones,
Use some grey and dark In fact, don't put me down on canvas
Paint me in y our heart. Don 't just remember good times
But remember all the bad; For life is full ofmany things Some happy and some sad ... But ify ou must do something
Then I have one request; Forgive me for the wrongs I've done
And With the Love that's Left ... Thank Go d for my soul 's resting, Thank God, for I've been blessed. Thank God for all who loved me, Praise God Who Loved Me B est!
