Marie Elsa Brown, ne’e Pierre, was born April 5, 1967 in Jeremie, Grand Anse, Haiti to the late Leanne L’esperance Pierre and Michel Pierre. She began her next great adventure on November 25, 2022.
Elsa attended primary school at Pressoir Jerome & College St. Louis. She later moved to Germany to start another chapter of her life at the young age of seventeen. There, she met Gary Eugene Brown and they soon married and moved to the United States. Their union was blessed with one son, Jordan Taylor Brown.
Elsa obtained her Associate’s Degree from Midlands Technical College after moving to Columbia, South Carolina. She went on to receive her Bachelor’s Degree in Healthcare from Kaplan University and her Master’s Degree from Webster University.
Elsa attended International Churches of Christ and there she met her lifelong friend, Charmaine Denise.
Elsa worked as a Benefits Analyst with Blue Cross Blue Shield for over twenty years. There she extended her family even more through her love, kindness, Joie de Vivre, and most of all her infectious laugh. She had a joy for everything from pound cake to Zumba. She was devoted to every member of her family, both given and chosen.
