The late Carmaletha "Letha" Brown was a beloved resident of Galveston, Texas. Her unexpected passing has left the community and her family in deep sorrow. To assist with her memorial services, the family is organizing a fundraiser on Saturday, May 25th. The event will include dinner sales and the acceptance of donations to support the costs of her services.
Craig Johnson has initiated a GoFundMe campaign to honor Carmaletha’s memory, with a goal of raising $2,000. The funds will be used to cover funeral services, burial or cremation costs, transportation, and memorial arrangements. In his heartfelt message, Craig expressed, "She was a beautiful daughter, sister, cousin & friend that brought so much laughter and love into our lives. She will deeply be missed by everyone who loved her."
The community has shown an outpouring of support on social media. La Kisha Burns, along with Florence Rideaux Bell, encouraged people to come together and help the family: "Gm y’all… As many of you know, Galveston’s very own Ms. Carmaletha ‘Letha’ Brown has gained her wings unexpectedly. Let’s come together and help this family. Any and everything is greatly appreciated."
Pamela Fury offered her condolences: "So sorry for your loss may God bless you and keep the family & friends in his arms." Alluring Alexis also expressed her sorrow publicly.
Goldie Loxx, a close friend of Carmaletha, shared her disbelief and grief: "I’m still lost for words cuzz that was my friend and I been knowing her for over 8 years and she was out on leave from our job when she messed up her leg or ankle and we were waiting on her to come back to work." Cordova Rabb added, "Carmaletha Brown is family she will forever be missed. I can’t believe or understand this but get your rest. I love you Letha."
Cora Brown’s simple yet poignant tribute, "My Letha," repeated twice, encapsulates the deep personal loss felt by those closest to Carmaletha.
This fundraising effort is a testament to the community’s solidarity and the far-reaching impact of Carmaletha’s life. The contributions will ensure she is laid to rest with the dignity and respect she deserves, while providing comfort and support to her grieving family.
