Georgetown accident victim, Rhonda Browne, receives lively send off

Beloved Georgetown resident, Rhonda Marva Browne received fitting tributes and a glorious send off on Saturday, May 20.

Browne, who would have celebrated her 56th birthday on Tuesday, May 23, died at the Georgetown Smart Hospital on Saturday, April 22, just hours after she was struck by a vehicle.

The accident took place along Commercial Road in Georgetown.

Her funeral service last Saturday was held at the Bethel Gospel Assembly in Georgetown.Many persons and groups paid fitting tribute to the late Spring Village resident, who was well known in the entire Georgetown community.

Prior to her death, Rhonda worked as a cleaner at the Georgetown revenue office and post office.

Past and present staff came together and paid her a tribute in song, and members of the Red Cross for which she provided dedicated service as a volunteer, also paid her tribute. Browne was eulogized as a virtuous woman by her daughter Wallicia, who said the service was a celebration of her mother’s life.

“She gave so much love. I experienced a part of that love. As I think about my time with my Mommy, I remember she was so patient and so kind.”

Wallicia is the second of Rhonda Browne’s five children. She also described her mother as brave, fearless, and adventurous. The daughter’s eulogy on Saturday was punctuated with tears and it was also incomplete. Wallicia explained that it was incomplete, “not because I couldn’t finish writing it, but if I conclude this eulogy today, I feel like it will be the end”.

“The rest of my eulogy lives in each and everyone of us, because you all know who my mother was.”

Pastor, Calvert Williams did the homily to conclude the funeral service.

After the funeral service, mourners made their way in a lively procession to the Georgetown cemetery where Browne’s mortal remains were laid to rest.
