Juanita Hines Brown was born on August 3, 1929, in Chicago, Illinois to John Henry and Lucy
Hines.
Her formative years were spent in both Alabama and Georgia. Later, in her adult life she moved
to Boston, MA to attend nursing school. She then moved to Washington, D.C.in 1949 and in 1952
she married M.L. Brown and became a military wife and traveled all over the world. To keep up
her skills in nursing, she often volunteered with the American Red Cross while abroad. In 1968,
M.L. retired from the military in Alexandria, V A. In 1971 the family relocated to Woodbridge,
VA where she resided until her death.
Juanita was a faithful member of Cokesbury United Methodist Church in Woodbridge, VA for
many years where she actively participated in Vacation Bible School and Helping Hands Senior
Group. She spent the majority of her nursing career working in Labor and Delivery; where she
mentored new nurses and assisted in the delivery of many children of family and friends.(Upon
retirement in 1985, she served as a volunteer with the Potomac Hospital Auxiliary for many
years.)
Juanita enjoyed shopping, floral designing, gardening, baking and crocheting. She also found
pleasure in entertaining and family gatherings. Her children were her priority; however, her
grandchildren were her first loves and she held a special relationship with each and every one of
them.
She leaves to survive her children, Earl (Georgia), George, Larry, Maurice (Robin), Jacqui
(Bill), Rose (Donnie), thirteen grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, five great-great
grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews, along with an extended family who loved her
