At Midnight On New Year's Eve, December 31, 1923, while the world was celebrating the incoming year, Irene Baldwin-Brown was being aided by a mid-wife while bringing in another little brown baby girl. Wiley her husband stood by her side and held her hand. There was no pain medicine, only the name of Jesus and her husband's coaching. Around 12:01 AM, they saw and held Annie Rene Brown for the first time. Annie Rene was the seventh of ten children that included Elsie Brown Leslie (Olin), Willie Amos Brown (Annie Gauldin), Hill Amos, Obedice B. (Catherine Lakes), John Norman (LuWillie), Mary Ruth Brown Tucker (Willie B. Tucker), Lois Brown Benson (Willie Benson), Ruby Brown Austin (William Austin) and Albert Lee Brown (Mattie Lee Pritchett).
She grew up to be an amazing woman of God and captured the eye of Willie Edd Lakes and became his wife in marriage ceremony in August of 1946. She became the mother of James Edward (deceased), Annie Dora, Willie James, Robert Lamar (deceased), Wayne Thomas (deceased), Versalias, Richard (deceased), Patricia, Derek (deceased), and Katherine Brown.
At a very young age, she developed a strong relationship with God and was baptized at Fellowship Baptist Church in Greenville, Georgia. She later joined her husband at Mount Peria Baptist, Hogansville, Georgia. Upon moving to Atlanta, Georgia she joined Jackson Memorial Baptist where she served on the Mother's Board for 25+ yea rs.
