Linda Brown

LINDA’S JOURNEY Linda Marie Brown, a resident of Salisbury, Maryland, was born on September 15, 1964 in Salisbury, Maryland to James Brown, Sr. (deceased) and Callie Brown. Linda departed this life at her home on Saturday, September 21, 2024. Linda was raised in Allen, Maryland and was educated in the Wicomico County School system. She was a graduate of Parkside High’s class of “1982” and received her Associate’s degree from Wor-Wic Community College. She was an employee of the State of Maryland for over thirty (30) years. Linda accepted Christ at an early age. She was a Deacon of “Rapture Ready Ministries.” You would often hear of her sharing stories of staying with her grandmother and attending church with her. Linda would often enjoy pastimes of traveling, reading books, spending holidays with family, talking on the phone with her good friends, strolling through stores talking to people for what seemed like HOURS, as well as enjoying a meal out, and most significantly her annual trip to the “Brown Family Reunion.” Linda was always ready for whoever had need of her whether it was assisting the church with events, being a limo driver for the “Golden Girls,” a team/band mom, a personal sitter, a ham extraordinaire, a beloved auntie or bonus mom. And let’s not forget hearing Linda’s favorite word, “Foolishness.” Linda is lovingly survived by: her two sons, Dionte’ Cotton and Jayson White, both of Salisbury, MD; one grandson, Jordan Cotton of Philadelphia, PA and one granddaughter, Amirah Zinn of Kaiserslaughter, Germany; her mother, Callie Brown of Allen, MD; one sister, Carla Brown of Salisbury, MD; one godsister, Adrience “Lisa” (Keith) Elmore, Sr. of Princess Anne, MD; one godson, Keith “Booder” (KeAsia) Elmore of ; two special nieces, NaTasha Roberts of Allen, MD and Kerrah Brown of Salisbury, MD; five nephews, Rashad Boone and Marcus Robinson, both of Atlanta, GA, Tyler (Calissa) Smith of Hampton, VA, Tre’von Hayward of Chester, PA and Devonte’ Brown of Salisbury, MD; two special uncles, Charlie (Hettie) Williams of Deerfield Beach, FL and Therman (Barbara) Brown of Allen, MD and a host of great nieces, great nephews, aunties, uncles, sister-cousins, cousins, childhood friends and close friends. In addition to her father, James Brown, Sr., Linda was preceded in death by her brother, James Brown Jr., one godson, Gregory Tilghman, Jr., her maternal and paternal grandparents, as well as other aunts, uncles, and cousins.
