Mrs. Andrea Mechelle Brown-Spence was born to Varmin “Deese” Brown, Sr., and Cathy R. Brown on June 19, 1984, in Albany, Georgia. She joined Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church and was baptized at a very young age by the late Rev. R.N. Elzia.

She received her early childhood education in the Dougherty County School System in Albany, Georgia, and graduated from Monroe High School in 2002. Andrea was well-known for her sweet disposition and passion for cheerleading. Following in her father’s footsteps, Andrea pursued a career as a Certified Surgical Technologist after graduating from Albany Technical College in 2007. Andrea loved taking care of people, dedicating herself to their well-being with compassion and skill in the operating room.
