Later she married Jonas Brown, Jr., who preceded her in death, and moved to Indianapolis, Indiana where they raised their son Jonas Brown Bey, III. Her great granddaughter Jace Kennedy-Tillman also preceded her in death. Evangelist Brown was a faithful member of Cathedral of Praise C.O.G.I.C. under the leadership of Bishop Edgar L. Allen, Jr. in Indianapolis. There she became an evangelist and minister. She served on the Mother’s Board, the prison ministry in Marion County, as well as at Michigan City and Pendleton Prisons. She was a great, international prayer warrior for many. Her “If you need a prayer” calling card could be found all throughout Indiana. Those who would call her home was always greeted with “Praise the Lord”. She baked bread and made wine from her private vineyard for communion. She saved many souls in the living room of her home. She supported many television ministries, the March of Dimes, and countless other organizations that helped those in need. She had pen pals all across the globe and her mailbox would be overflowed with prayer requests, cards, and well wishes. After a brief illness she moved to Chicago to live with her son Dr. Jimmy Tillman, I and family where she attended Transformation Church under the leadership of Rev. Andrew Hunt, Jr. In Chicago she was hugged and kissed every day. After a playful evening with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren she walked without assistance to bed.
