A Flomaton woman lost her life last week when her vehicle appeared to have run off the road and collided with a tree off Old Atmore Road, according to information released by the Flomaton Police Department.
Cynthia Marie Brown, 61, of Flomaton, was pronounced dead on the scene when the Flomaton Fire Department and Flomaton Police Department along with EMS responded to a single car crash on Tuesday, March 14 around 9 p.m near Community Church Road in Flomaton.
Reports also noted brown was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. Flomaton Police Chief Johnny Wilson said the crash remains under investigation by the police department.
Brown's sibling, Sandy Spencer, had the following to say about her oldest sister:
"That which was is no longer, what is now may seem a mystery, but what is left are everlasting memories of the beauty and faithfulness of the life of Cynthia Marie Brown, that is now at rest-this is the nature of things. This is how it has been, how it is and how it will continue to be until the final sentence on the last page of this book of life is written. One must understand that this work is by the hand of Jesus, a presence whose ways are not as our ways that sees all things not merely as they are but in the way that he created them to be. The human mind at times may not understand these things, but it is the peace he brings afterward that surpasses all understanding. Let us not hold on to the suffering of life's circumstances, but to the words that say that, 'God is able to do, that which he said he will do.' Let not the pain we feel be our guide but 'the joy of the Lord be our strength.
Brown, known by her family and loved ones as 'Cynthia girl' or 'Maybell' was the first child born to Charlie James 'Tinche' Spencer and Nancy Brown on May 21, 1961 in Century, Fla.
Brown began her early childhood education in Century before moving to Los Angeles, where she completed her education. She worked on many jobs but her calling was to work with Meals on Wheels and as a daycare teacher. Cynthia gave her life to the Lord during a Colorama Service at Greater Glory New Testament Church of Deliverance in 1992.
She held the position of assistant pastor and evangelist at Greater Glory New Testament Church of Deliverance in Century, where she was eager to visit the sick and shut-ins and she enthusiastically offered encouragement to everyone she encountered. Her favorite things to do included praising God and witnessing God's goodness to others, baseball, shopping and most important to her was helping others."
Brown's funeral is scheduled for 2 p.m., Saturday, March 25, at Deliverance Ministries of Jesus Christ in Atmore with Apostle Nancy Cottrell officiating and Mayberry Funeral Home directing.
