Lucille Brown

Maggie Lucille Brown entered eternal peace on Friday, May 27, 2022. The daughter of the late Emmanuel Jack Black and the late Irene Good Black, she was born September 16, 1937, in Blacksburg, SC. Lucille married Hassie Lee Brown on December 24, 1959.

A 1958 graduate of Granard High School, Lucille held various positions in her work career which include Monsanto, Fasco Controls, Magnolia Finishing Plant, and eventually retiring from Cleveland County Schools Food Services.

Besides her love of sewing, Lucille was an enthusiast of the outdoors. She and her husband Lee spent many years growing and maintaining vegetable gardens, and she sincerely loved raising and sharing many varieties of flowers and plants. She also maintained bird feeders throughout her yard for her feathered friends. On any given day visitors to her home would find her outside enjoying God’s gifts of nature and wildlife.

She never met a stranger and her winning smile charmed everyone she encountered. A lifelong member of Youngs Grove Baptist Church, Lucille served on the Pastor’s Aide Committee, Mixed Choir, and Senior Missionaries.

Lucille was preceded in death by her husband Hassie Lee Brown, her parents Emmanuel Jack Black and Irene Good Black, and two brothers Nesbitt Black and Emanuel Black.
