Faledia Brown-Eppinger

Faledia Frances Marie Brown-Eppinger, 31, was born on August 22, 1979 to mother, LaTina (Abernathy) Brown and father, Mr. Adnan (Boo Boo) (Seangrie) Brown, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Faledia was a very energetic, funny, loving mother of four, with a "sense of humor" out of this world! She loved pulling pranks on people, playing cards, playing BINGO!, she loved her family, she loved animals, loved to shop, basketball, music, reading and writing, and not to mention, she was an excellent mathematician (she loved counting numbers). Faledia will be remembered for her exotic hairstyles and colors she would always wear. During her lengthy illness, Faledia still attempted to perform basic household chores, take car rides with family, and give advice to others. On Saturday, June 25, 2011 at 9:42 P.M. in the evening, Faledia re-dedicated her life to Jesus Christ. She truly fought the good fight of faith, until on Monday, July 4th (Independence Day), our Heavenly Father decided that He needed her more. She was surrounded by an abundance of family and friends. Faledia will be greatly missed by everyone.
