Beth Faye Brown
The Wind Beneath Our Wings
Beth Faye Brown (Bethel Purchase), age 81, went to her heavenly home surrounded by her family on January 16, 2021. She was born in Detroit, MI., on September 13, 1939, the daughter of Russell Fay (1959) and Florence Elizabeth (1999) (Payne) Purchase. She had 2 brothers and 2 sisters, Basil “Duke” Purchase (2019), Bonnie (Gary) Brya, Benson “Ben” Purchase (2014) and Beverly (2012) (Joseph) Metzger, as well as 10 nieces and nephews and many great nieces and nephews.
Beth Faye married her soul mate, Earl Edward Brown, on April 30, 1960. They spent 60 years, working hard, traveling, giving to others and creating a loving family, including 3 daughters: Teresa (Brian) Richards, Annette (Ralph) Chamberlain and Michelle “Shelly” (Rick) Strong, 5 grandchildren: Derek (Colleen) Richards, Kelsey Richards, Brooke (Tom) Tate, Lindsey (Michael) Latta, Victoria “Tori” Strong and 6 great grandchildren: Nathan, Bristol, Virginia Densmore, Wesley Tate, Ethan and Kendall Latta. She loved them deeply and cherished her moments with them.
Beth & Earl had a lot of community involvement. In the 1970’s they were Girl Scout Leaders for 10 years, she supported her daughters during school events always rooting them on to victory! She worked hard over the years in a factory, a restaurant as a waitress, she was a manager at Schmidt’s Bakery in Okemos, and spent over 25 years of her retired life sending greeting cards for every occasion to multiple generations and donations to several hundred organizations.
