      On August 28, 2022, Rita Faye Brown, 64, passed from this life at the Genesis Personal Care Home, Pierpont Center in Fairmont, WV. She was the youngest child of the late Ford Clement and Madeline Childers Brown of Salem, WV.

      Rita was truly a person that God uniquely created. Born on August 9, 1958, Rita was legally blind since birth. As a young child she spent a happy childhood on the family's dairy farm where she loved to be outside. She graduated from the West Virginia School for the Blind in Romney, WV. Following graduation and faced with multiple disabilities, she returned to the family home and remained with her parents until their passing.

Rita's family would like to express their gratitude to the following: The caring staff at Genesis in Fairmont, the caregivers provided by United Summit Center, the nurses with WVU Medicine Hospice, and the congregation and clergy of the Oakmound Evangelical Church in Clarksburg where Rita loved to attend when she was able.
