Patricia Ann Thompson Brown

In loving memory of our Momma, Patricia (Pat) Ann Thompson Brown, who passed away on July 10, 2023. She was the devoted wife of Robert (Bobby) Arnold Brown and a loving Mother, Grandmother, Great-grandmother, Booga, Mamaw, Grandma, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Daughter-in- Law, Sister-in-Law, and Friend. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her!

Pat was born on September 16, 1950 to Ivelyn Jessie Thompson and Charles Alfred Thompson in La Grange, GA and immediately brought joy and laughter into the world. She went on to get her GED later in life from Florida Community of College of Jacksonville almost 30 years ago.

Pat moved to Jacksonville, FL from Georgia in December 1968 and met Bobby Brown in January 1969. The two fell in love and were a match made in heaven. The two were inseparable from that point on. They married on April 09, 1969.

Pat is survived by her husband of 54 years, Bobby Brown and 6 children, 17 grandchildren, and 4 great-grandchildren:

Robin Waters (Jesse Waters (Melissa)-Jesse Junior and Robert, Aaron Lowe-Aniston and Summer Huggins (Benjamin)

Lorraine Fuentes (Ricardo-Yodalis)

Karen Brown-Acree (Paul-Austin, Skyler and Cora)

Sharon Henry (Larry-Dustin, Kristina, Chasen, and Amiya)

Jill Varnadore (Scott- Myrina Pforr (Garion)-Jordan and Emma)

Bobby Brown (Lisa- Chloe, Morgan, Payton and Savannah)

And her sisters, brothers, cousins, and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents-Charles Alfred Thompson and Ivelyn Jessie Thompson, brother-Gregory Thompson

Being a mother and wife was one of the most important parts of Pat’s life, a role that gave her much pride and joy. She was an excellent mom and wife, supportive, kind, hilarious, and witty. We will all miss her dearly. Her hobbies included taking pictures, plants, birds, cooking, watching nature, spending time with family and friends, and watching football, wrestling, and sci-fi movies.

Pat was a fiercely dedicated mom to all of her children and bonus children. All of whom went on to accomplish great things. Family came first and was above all else to Pat, a value she instilled in all those around her. The hole left by Pat's absence is impossible to fill.

Our mother was a kind, caring and giving person who always put the needs of her family before her own. Momma was a strong woman who faced every challenge in her life with courage and dignity. Our mother was a source of inspiration to us all and she will be deeply missed by everyone whose lives she touched.

Growing up, Momma was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or just a shoulder to cry on. She was a woman of strong faith, and she instilled in us the importance of family, hard work and doing what is right. Our mother was a true role model who we will always look up to.

Momma, you will always be in our hearts and we will never forget you. We love you so much. Daddy loves and misses you so much.You were our rock! We promise to take care of each other and look after Daddy. Rest in peace.
