Willie Ruth Maxine Brown

September 26, 1934 - April 29, 2016

In Loving Memory of our Mother Willie Ruth Maxine Brown September 26,1934 – April 29,2016 Strength and Dignity are her clothing and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and called her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her. “Many women have done excellently, but you surpassed them all.” --Proverbs 31: 25-30 Let me tell you about our Mother On September 26,1934, Our gift from God was born Willie Ruth Maxine Howell in Palatka, Florida to her Parents, the Late Isaac Sanford Howell and the late Ruth Robinson. She was the only child born of this Union. A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold---Proverbs 22:1 In her early years, she moved from Florida north to Detroit, Michigan where she attended school in particular Eastern High School. It was in Detroit where she would later meet her husband, the late Homer Brown, to whom she wed on June 25, 1956. She remained a devoted wife until his death, June 6, 1979 and she never remarried. It was at that time she was charged to care for their four young children, three boys and one girl 17,13,10, and 8. Her faith in God never wavered. She raised all four with love instilling in them the importance of family values. Because of her giving heart non judgmental attitude, zany wit and infectious spirit of love she often drew many of the neighborhood children as well as relatives who came to her for advice and just good old conversation. She was affectionately called by many “Ma Brown!” We often admired how she could strike up a conversation with a total stranger. By the end of the moment, they wanted to know who she was because she made them feel…Good! She was truly a Blessing to us All….We Thank God for Her…. This little light of mine, I’m GOING TO LET IT SHINE!!!!!!! In 1997, Mrs. Brown left the city of Detroit for a warmer climate in Riverside, California to reunite with two of her Sons at the request of her youngest Son Shawn. Her other two children would join her later. It was there that she would live in comfort and continue to be surrounded by people who loved her for her kind spirit. For the last four years she was here on Earth, she lived in a retirement community where she was adored by all of her neighbors. At the functions in the clubhouse on Karaoke day she would be the only one who would take the mike and lovingly sing to all her neighbors drawing admiration and applause for her “Spunky Spirit!” You are PRECIOUS---Isaiah 43:4 You are ONE OF A KIND-----Psalm 39:14 Our Mothers health took a sudden turn much to the surprise and shock to all of us when we learned that she had Cancer and it was in its fourth stage in December 2015. We admired her strength because she didn’t give up the fight. She fought a courageous battle to her last breath. When she was called home, she was in the presence of her children. We were blessed to be able to share with her that we would all be ok and we applauded her for a job well done…..She is survived by her Sons, Homer Jr., Darryl and Shawn. Her Daughter Regenia and Daughter in law, Jackie. Thirteen Grand Children of which one Sharde preceded her in death, Brandon, Jarrel, Darryl Jr, Darius, Brian, Rian, Christopher, Darian, Ashley, Tequila, Bria and Kendall. Three Step Grand Children, Damien, D’mya and Dae. One Great Grand Child, Harmony. By marriage a host of Nieces and Nephews as well as a Half Brother James……

I remember a Kathy that none of you knew. I remember a four-year-old and the first trip to Disneyland, my first trip, too, and maybe Donnas. Donna, Kathy and I rode together in a tiny boat down a quiet little river, seeing favorites. I remember the wonder and delight on her pretty little face as we passed Mr. Toad's mushroom home as the lights came through the windows at twilight. Must have been well over fifty years ago. May she rest in peace. Love to all, Jean Tolle

Jean Arellano

I have so many memories with Kathy but I really loved the way she would laugh when I would turn on stand-up comedy shows. Once it was Kevin Nealon and I never heard her laugh cry so hard. I loved to see her with joy and happiness.

Sharon Lara

I first met Ken in the 80's when my daughter, Joanna, brought him to Arizona to meet us. I guess I didn't warm up to him right away. I thought him too old for my daughter. But, in the end, love conquers all. I held a wedding reception at my home in Arizona in following months. The entire Lorenz family traveled to be there to celebrate. It was so wonderful to meet them. I also got to meet his adorable 10 year old son, Little Kenny. They were and to his day a very close, loving tight-knit family. So thankful I got to meet them. Over he years, Joanna and Ken came to Arizona to celebrate many holidays. I came to realize what a wonderful person Ken was. He had such a wonderful work ethic. He would do anything for anybody. I so enjoyed the pictures they sent me of their camping and fishing trips. He will be so missed by all who came in contact with him. My heart and prayers go to his entire family. I am so thankful for my two beautiful grandchildren, Elishia and Joseph Lorenz, that he left me. When I look at them, I remember him. Sharon Lara

Rico J Rodriguez

Brother Kin I remember the first day we meet, I was 18 and you picked me up from my apartment in Fontana and we had a lunch at In and Out - that was the first time I learned about what an animal burger was... (smiles) and then we headed on our way to the youth camp service in arrowhead mountains ... I was nervous at first but God showed me what a good man you were and you were just being a mentor image to me... From that moment I knew the Lord had blessed me with a spiritual uncle... Now my heart weeps for the thought of knowing I'll never see you playing your guitar in that front corner of higher ground church ever again, nor will I ever see that big bright smile when you'd greet me after not see me after a long while with that concerned question of how have I been... All thought the weeping may be for a night, I know Joy cometh in the morning... Rest in peace my Brother- we shall meet again on that glorious day....

Carmenrita Rodriguez

Brother Ken was such and encouraging, and kind gentleman. I remember his and Sister Marlene's loving and encouraging words to me after our Worth The Wait youth service. They told me to trust in God and he will provide me with a a Loving husband, and reminded me often that God loves me. He was and always will be such a great example to young men and women alike! He will be greatly missed.

Barbara Meza

I'll always remember when I used to go down in the prayer room at the Colton church n I would sometimes struggle to pray and touch God and Bro Ken would be in his office He would began to worship God and I would hear him that encouraged me so much and I begin to feel the presence God and be able to touch n feel God... Bro. Ken was a very humble, kind, gentle man... always full of joy n smiles.... A perfect example of a true Christian. He will be greatly missed...

Lori Ortiz

Kenny was my favorite childhood cousin. Our Moms were sisters and as children we grew up in NJ. Many summer days Kenny and his Four syblings and my three spent endless hours playing cards, running through sprinklers and having picnics. As adults we each went our own way but those memories never left my heart. He children were lucky to have him as their Dad. May God Bless him and may he rest in peace, your cousin Lori
