Alice Marie Worrell Brown, age 95, was called home to the Lord on July 8, 2022. The daughter of the late Joseph Isaac Worrell and the late Maria Chandler Burgess, she was born May 13, 1927, in Webb, Alabama. She attended grade schools in Kingstree, Georgetown, and Leavenworth, Kansas. She graduated Kingstree High School in 1944 and attended Coker College before her marriage in 1945 to Williamsburg County farmer Herbert McGill Brown, Jr. Thus began her long life as a loving wife, homemaker, mother, grandmother, and great- grandmother on a farm in Nesmith, SC. All who knew Marie were inspired by her strong Christian faith, her devotion to family, her love of cooking, good food, and Oriental chocolate sets. She was a long-time member of Central Presbyterian Church where she served as a Sunday School and circle teacher.
In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband Herbert McGill Brown, Jr., her sister Martha Davis Worrell, and her brother Jefferson Davis Worrell.
Surviving to treasure many memories of her and to carry on her godly legacy are her son Herbert McGill (Betsy) Brown, III, her three daughters Faye Brown Mathis, Betty Brown (David) Watts, Kimberly Brown (Aaron) Easters; her six grandchildren Herbert McGill Brown, IV, Whitney Lee Mathis, Dr. Caroline Watson Cauthorn, Burgess Reynolds Watson, Sidney Marie Easters, Avarie Grace Easters; her four great-grandchildren Ava Marie Mathis, Timothy John Mathis, Betty Drake Cauthorn, Madison Reynolds Watson; her sister-in-law Betty Worrell Cain, three nephews, one niece and several cousins.
The family expresses sincere appreciation to the excellent and loving team of nurses, aides, and social workers of Regency SouthernCare Hospice and to her compassionate caregivers Brenda, Betty, Irva, Cora, Sandra, Cynthia, Alexis, and Vangii.

I extend my heartfelt sympathy to each of you in the loss of this sweet and dear lady who will surely be missed by so many. My family came to know the Brown’s when my dad Wesley Tisdale built their home. My mom and I would see Mrs. Marie in the local grocery stores, we loved catching up on what she was baking next. She always shared her love for baking with us and I will treasure her friendship and concern for both of my parents as they were ill and even as she saw me the time. She knew who I was, and we talked once again about our love for God and chocolates. Fly high with the angels sweet lady, you will be missed.
Prayers for family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We met Mrs Marie when we were going to TOPS. She was one of the sweetest ladies that we have ever know. She left a true testimony as good and faithful servant. God bless your family.
