She was a lifelong Christian and faithful servant of God. She was a member of Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Taylor. She taught Sunday School for many years and was a mentor and role model to many at church and mostly to her family. She was loved dearly by all who knew her. She always commanded a quiet respect, but also was always up for a good time and could surprise you with some silly comment or impish type behavior. She was first and foremost a loyal believer in Christ and loved to share His Word, and has always supported the family for our whole lives. We are forever grateful and blessed to be family. We love you, Esther, you have left a huge hole and will be missed. Bartlett Funeral Home is handling the local arrangements for burial of Mrs Brown next to her husband at the WV National Cemetery.
