Minnie Lee Brown, born September 25, 1945, in Faunsdale, Alabama, passed away on April 26, 2026, surrounded by her family’s love. She was the beloved wife of the late Moses Brown III.

Raised in Faunsdale, she graduated from Thomaston High School in Demopolis and attended cosmetology school in Gadsden. After marrying in 1968, Minnie and Moses made their home in Massachusetts, living for many years in Peabody and most recently in Salem. She worked at General Electric in Lynn and later Ametek until her retirement.

A woman of deep faith, Minnie was a devoted member of Zion Baptist Church in Lynn, serving as Sunday School Superintendent, Sunday School Teacher, and Usher, and known for the warm hugs that made everyone feel welcome. She is survived by her children, Dexter Brown (Stephanie) and Angela Brown Owens (Phillip); five grandchildren, Brandon Owens, Myles Owens, Destiney Brown, Dexter Brown Jr., and Dahleah Brown; siblings and extended family; sisters-in-law Carol Brown and Mildred Henderson (Joseph); and many nieces, nephews, godchildren, and dear friends.

The family kindly asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in loving memory of Minnie Brown. As Minnie faced the challenges of Alzheimer’s with grace and strength, contributions in her honor will help support other families walking a similar path.

Service details will be announced shortly.
