Graveside services for LaQueeta Colson Brown, 88, will be held at 2:00 p.m. on April 6, 2026, at the Rayville Masonic Cemetery under the direction of Mulhearn Funeral Home. LaQueeta went to be with our Lord and Savior on April 4, 2026, after a lengthy illness.

LaQueeta Brown was a retired school teacher and taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School at First Baptist Church in Rayville many years ago. All who knew her remember her as a loving and devoted wife, mom, and grandmother who enjoyed cooking, gardening, and the simple things in life. She lived her life as a reflection of her faith-with kindness, compassion, and quiet strength.

LaQueeta was preceded in death by her parents, Willis Colson and Opal Colson Woods, and brothers, Jerry Colson and Thomas Colson. Those left to cherish memories of her include her husband of 68 years, Emmett Brown, Jr., her four children, Myra Alderman (Art), Lisa Cheek (Keith), Kym Trisler (Rayland), Emmett “Lee” Brown III (Jada), ten grandchildren, Crystal Bennett (Lyle), Brandon Alderman (Josie), Misty Falting (Kyle), Jill Sutton (Scott), Emilee Turner (Seth), Lanya Fussell (Chance), Reed Trisler (Olivia), Clayton Trisler (Rachel), Emmett “Lance” Brown IV (Katelyn), and Kara Trisler, as well as 21 great-grandchildren. LaQueeta loved her family deeply and unconditionally. Though her passing leaves a space that can never be filled, her spirit will continue to bloom in the hearts of those she loved.

Pallbearers are Reed Trisler, Clayton Trisler, Emmett “Lance” Brown IV, and Brandon Alderman. Honorary pallbearers are Joe Lyles, and Bobby Calvert.

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude and appreciation to Gardens of Somerset caregivers, St. Joseph’s Hospice, and to a special family friend, Tiffany.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home, or the Alzheimer’s Association.
