Obituary of Vancie Juanita Brown

Obituary of Vancie Brown Vancie Juanita Brown was born in Calvert, Texas, to the parentage of Willie Lee Banks and Imogene Robertson on January 3, 1940. Both parents precede her in death. She was reared in Palestine, Texas, where she attended A.M. Story and received her GED from El Centro College in Dallas, Texas. Vancie Juanita was united in holy matrimony with Jessie Ray Brown; to that union no children were born. She did contract cleaning for Cosmopolitan Maid Services for over 18 years. Even though she didn’t drive she was very reliable. She always made it to work and she knew her way around Dallas better than most people. She was not only a reliable employee but she became a very good friend and confidant to the owner and special friend, Tammy Dietzman. She was employed there until the onset of her illness. Vancie Juanita accepted Christ at an early age. After traveling all over the world, she settled in Dallas, Texas, where she joined Greater New Zion Church and became a very loyal member for over 25 years. She loved praising and worshiping as she faithfully attended Sunday school and diligently served on the Adult Usher Board. Preceding her in death are her father, Willie Lee Banks; mother, Imogene Robertson; brother, Willie Lee Banks, Jr.; spouse, Jessie Brown; and special aunt, Luella Mathis. She leaves to cherish fond memories, one son, Richard Thompson; two daughters, Sebastina Jones and Demetria Thompson; adopted son, Ervin Mathis (Jael); grandchildren, Dominic Thompson, Kamilah Thompson, Jessica Thompson, Akila Jones, Caleah Jones, Kimesha Paramore, Daytonia Sharper, and Shree Rabb; sister-in-law and friend, Bernice Banks; and her clan, Brother Al Mathis; sisters-in-law, Frances Johnson, Joyce Thompson and Dorothy Wilson; longtime special friends, Vera Byrd, Dearlene Robertson, Maggie D.
