Lorenza Perry McNeal Officiating Her childrens views of her scripturally... Proverbs 31:10, 20 &25-31 10. A capable wife who can find? Her value is far more than that of corals. 20. Her palm she has stretched out to the afflicted one, and her hands she has thrust out to the poor one. 25. Strength and splendor are her clothing, and she laughs at a future day. 26. Her mouth she has opened in wisdom, and the law of lov- ing kindness is upon her tongue. 27. She is watching over the goings-on of her household, and the bread of laziness she does not eat. 28. Her sons have risen up and proceeded to pronounce her happy; her owner rises up, and he praises her. 29. There are many daughters that have shown capableness, but you you have ascended above them all. 30. Charm may be false, and prettiness may be vain; but the woman that fears Jehovah is the one that procures praise for herself 31. Give her of the fruitage of her hands and let her works praise her even in the gate's. C%den^ S&wice Processional Selection.......... Prayer Solo ............. Reflections ......

Obituary On August 20, 1915, the late Willis and Mary Lee Moody were blessed with the birth of their oldest daughter, Willie Mae, in Evans County, Georgia. Now after a very long and satisfying life, sadly she has left us to cherish her very dear sweet memory on February 9, 2007. She was educated in the elementary school in Evans County, Georgia, but attended high school in Gainsville, Florida. At a young age, Willie Mae joined Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. She served faithfully until her health failed. Serving as a missionary for several years, she always did her best to help whenever and wherever there was a need, whether asked to or not. In July 1934, Willie Mae Moody was wed to John Lester Brown, Sr. forming a great union of which 10 children were born. She was widowed in 1983, and was remarried in 1990. She has been predeceased by 2 sons, Lucuis (1992) and Ivy (2007) Brown. Cherishing her loving memory are the following: husband Leroy Hagan; daughters: June Helen Clark (Hubert), Freddie Mae Lewis (Lester), Leila Brooks (James), and Mary L. Mackey; sons: Norman (Betty), Earnest (Annette), Alphonse (Bernice) and John Lester Brown, Jr. (Rogenger); her sons widows: Ann & Florence Brown; 7 stepchildren: Ida Pearl Hall, Maybell Forrest, Gail Grant, Rosetta Nunnally, Ilene King, Early Hagan, and Grady Hagan; a sis- ter: Maggie A. Harper; sisters-in law: Sallie B. Moody and Marietha Brown, Leola Short, Ida Mae Hagan, Cleo Fluella, Ethel Hicks, and Mary Surrency; 3 brothers-in-law: Felton Hagan, Gurney Hagan, and Waldo Brown; 38 grandchil- dren; 67 great grandchildren and a host of great great grand- children and other relatives and friends. Ecclesiastes 9:10 states in part, All that your hands find to do, do it with your very power, and oh, was she well known fior her hard work even firom an early age as a homemaker, cook in a restaurant, fiarm fiteld worker and also U.S. Postal employee. Although she wore many hats fiiguratively, none were more appreciated, precious or endearing than loving wifie, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, and great grandmother. She \ was truly a diamond in s V Melvin Moody Jimmy Brown Ricky Lee Shaun Byrd Franklin Smith Harvey Moody, Jr. The family of the late Mrs. Willie Mae Brown Hagan acknowledges with sincere appreciation and gratitude the many comforting messages, visits, floral tributes and all other expressions of love and kindness evidenced at this time in thought and deed.
