DOVER - Carrie H. Brown was born June 3, 1922 to the late Osceola and Leola Hawkins. She quietly answered God's call Thursday, Dec. 15, 2016 at Westminster Presbyterian Senior Living Center, in Dover. She was united in holy matrimony to the late Oscar E. Brown in 1957. They shared a wonderful life together and produced three amazing identical triplets girls born June 16, 1959, Veronica Brown, Vergie Benton (John Benton) and Vernetta Foxe (Stanley Foxe). Prior to her marriage to the late Oscar Brown, she was married to the late Eli McCrimmon. They produced two children, Barbara Jean McCrimmon (Mack,) who preceded her in death and Eli Vanda McCrimmon (Mary Ann). Carrie received her education in the New Hanover County School System. In her youth, she accepted Christ and joined the St. Luke AME Church in Wilmington, N.C. In March 2011, Veronica brought her mother to Dover, to live with her. In mid-June 2011, Carrie became a resident of Westminster Presbyterian Senior Living Center. She was loved by everyone there. She was a gentle soft spoken woman, who said what she meant and meant what she said. Mom loved the services provided weekly at Westminster. She would join in and sing and participate in prayer. Her most enjoyable times were when she was with her daughters and grandchildren. She would light up when seeing them. She loved riding in the car and having dinners at her daughters. She also enjoyed talking on the phone with her son Eli and daughter-in-law Mary Ann. She enjoyed looking "Fly" and dressing from head to toe. We are giving God the praise for blessing us with 94 years of her unconditional love, wisdom, joy and courage she provided to the family and friends.
