Jacquelyn Ann Hotard Brown, a resident of Patterson for over 50 years, was 
called home to her heavenly reward on Monday, July 17, 2017, at the age of 74 
with her husband by her side at their home. 

Jackie, as she was known by many, was born in New Orleans on February 12, 1943, 
the third of eight children born to the late Theo Lawrence Hotard Sr. and the 
late Hilda Elizabeth Segui Hotard. 
On February 21, 1960 she married the love of her life, Andrew Brown Jr. They 
eventually set roots in Patterson where they raised their children and made 
countless lifelong friendships.

Jackie was a woman of strong faith, believing in the strength and saving power 
of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She also had a contagious smile that 
everyone loved. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor 
that won the trust and hearts of many, who even now are being changed by her 
witness of constant nurturing love and faith. Her signature gift of joy, shown 
through her beautiful smile, laughter, and joking around will never be 
forgotten. Lovingly known by many as MeMe, Jackie was truly the heart and rock 
of her family.

Those she leaves to cherish her memory include her loving husband of 57 years, 
Andrew Brown Jr.; her children, Kevin N. Brown and his husband Randy Coon, 
Karla Brown Miller and her husband Bill Miller, and Kirk M. Brown and his wife 
Rachel Brown; her four grandchildren (whom she lovingly called her Angel 
Babies), Tyler Miller, Ryan Miller, Briana Brown, and Colton Brown; five 
siblings, Cheryl Hotard McGill, Theo Hotard Jr., Keith Hotard, Judy Hotard 
Bennett, and Donald Hotard; her close aunt, Janis Hoffman; as well as numerous 
nieces, nephews, family members, and friends.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Raymond 
and Kenny Hotard; and an infant sister, Karla Hotard.

Relatives and friends are invited to join the family for the visitation at 
Ibert's Mortuary in Patterson on Thursday, July 20, 2017, from 6:00 p.m. until 
9:00 p.m., and again Friday morning from 9:00 a.m. until service time. Funeral 
services celebrating Jackie's life and home-going will be held Friday, July 21, 
2017, at 11:00 a.m. at Ibert's 

followed by burial in Ibert's Memorial Park Cemetery Mausoleum. 

Bro. James Kyle, Deacon of Immanuel Baptist Church, and Bro. Tom Higginbotham, 
Chaplain for Notre Dame Hospice, will conduct the services. Serving as 
pallbearers will be her son Kirk Brown, her son-in-law Bill Miller, her 
grandsons, Tyler Miller, Ryan Miller, and Colton Brown, her brothers Keith 
Hotard and Donald Hotard, and her brother-in-law Ronald Brown.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude to the doctors and 
staff of Notre Dame Hospice for the loving and compassionate care given to 
Jackie in her time of need.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ibert's Mortuary, Inc., 1111 Lia Street,
