Her professional career was spent at Phillips Seafood (now known as Graham & Rollins) where she was widely known for her infectious spirit and contagious sense of humor as her smile and laughter would light the entire room.  To know Pearlie Mae was to love her as she never met anyone who wasn't a friend.

As the matriarch of the family Pearlie Mae really enjoyed cooking and entertaining for her family, as well as being an avid sports fan often indulging in NFL football games and NBA basketball games cheering on her favorite teams.

It is the desire of the Brown family that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

The family of Mrs. Pearlie Mae Brown has entrusted her final care to C. C. Carter Funeral Home.
