Judy Brown

Judy Ann Brown Sanders, age 63, left us on Saturday, May
7, 2016. Judy was born on November 20, 1952, in Monroe,
Louisiana, to the parentage of Ellis and Rosie Lee Crosby. She later
moved to Texas and married the love of her life, Carl Sanders, who
was a great provider and mate, and he remained by her side until

Judy was a sweet mother and grandmother, who held a lot of
wisdom and knowledge of God and helping others to have better
lives.
Judy was truly blessed and always said, “the Lord is taking care
of me.” Through sickness and health she always kept a smile on her
face even as she departed from this life.
She was preceded in death by her
father, Ellis Crosby, Sr.; her mother,
Rosie Lee Crosby; and brothers, Bob
Crosby and Gary Crosby.
Judy leaves to cher ish her
memor ies, her four children,

Debra Banks and Tony Brown; her
only sister, Carolyn Vaughn; her
six brothers, Willie Crosby, Ellis
Crosby, Jr., Billy Jean Crosby, Bing
Crosby and Lorenzo Crosby;

host of nieces and nephews.
To Those I Love & Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love and you can only guess,
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it’s time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for awhile that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on,
So, if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near,
And if you listen with your heart,
You’ll hear all my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and say, “Welcome Home.”
