Lola Kilpatrick Brown

Lola was a loving, kindhearted person who had a gentle soul and a humble spirit. She loved everyone, particularly children, to whom she dedicated her 30 year career in elementary education. She enjoyed spending time gardening and birdwatching, especially Cardinals, at their home in Cove City. Other favorite pastimes include boating, fishing, and water-related activities on the Bay River. Family and friends were especially important to her and she cherished the time spent with them. Lola loved the Lord and faithfully read her Bible and daily devotionals.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lewis and Mary Kilpatrick; son-in-law, Jeff Reynolds; as well as two sisters, Nina Register and Shirley Banks.

She is lovingly survived by her husband of 38 years, George N. Brown, Jr.; daughter, Michele Reynolds; son, Mitch Wethington; stepdaughter, Jennifer Stewart (Fredrick); stepsons, Joey Brown (Starlene) and Chris Brown (Maggie); brothers, John Kilpatrick (Ann) and Jimmy Kilpatrick (Darlene); four grandchildren, Amy Howard, Cody Sutton (Allison), Kelsey Hogeback (Tim), and Annabelle Brown; four great grandchildren, Kinsley Howard, Owen Howard, Daxton Sutton and Lucas Hogeback; many loving nieces and nephews; and faithful canine companion, Boo.

The family will receive friends from 2 to 3 p.m. on Monday, February 1st in the fellowship hall at Asbury United Methodist Church followed by the funeral service in the sanctuary at 3 p.m. with the Reverends Greg Meadows and Mike Roach officiating. She will be laid to rest in the church cemetery following the service. The service will be broadcast over the radio at 88.3 FM in the church parking lot for those who do not wish to go inside.
