"Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies" Proverbs 31:10
On Friday morning, April 28, 2023, Undine Diane Brown McMillon, was called home to live with God in Peace and Happiness. A native of Norfolk, Virginia, Undine Diane Brown was born on June 6, 1945, to the late Mr. David Arthur Brown Jr. and Mrs. Eunice Webb Brown.
Diane began her early childhood education in Norfolk, Virginia where she attended J. C. Price, Elementary School, Jacox Jr. High and ultimately graduated from Booker T. Washington High School. Diane continued her studies at Norfolk State University.
Diane received baptismal in the fellowship of Bank Street Baptist Church, now known as Bank Street Memorial Baptist Church, at a very early age. She remained a member until her death.
In her early years of employment Diane worked at Old Dominion University (ODU), where she enjoyed this experience immensely with her friend, KaSean and with her others co-workers. Upon her departure from ODU, Diane went on to start a career with the Department of Defense (DOD), working at Commander Submarine Force Atlantic (COMSUBLANT) and retiring from the Commander Navy Environmental Health Center (NAVENVIRHLTCEN), Norfolk, VA.
Diane was married to the late Robert E. McMillon of Norfolk, Virginia and from this union one son was born Robert Edward McMillon, Jr.
She was well known for her love and dedication to her children and family. Along with other mothers in the neighborhood, Diane would go to the school and volunteer for the special school and holiday programs. Diane has always been very active and involved when it came to her child Robert, nephew Corry and, grandchildren's school programs, activities, and school affairs. Diane has always been very active and dedicated to her church as well, her passion seeming to be leading the Usher Board.
A Godly woman who imparted wisdom into her family, friends and especially to the children for whom she cared for. Diane always had a quiet and unassuming manner, and was a calming force to those around her. Her unselfish and kind ways will fondly be remembered.
Preceding her in her Heavenly journey was her parents, Mr. David Arthur Brown Jr. and Mrs. Eunice Webb Brown.
She leaves to cherish her memories of Goodwill toward men, is her son Robert E. McMillon Jr. of Phoenix AZ. Grandchildren, Tyesha N. Whitehurst and Elijah T. McMillan; honorary and very special granddaughter Keya Scott, five great grandchildren, brother, David A. Brown, Ill, sister Vida R. Brown Cartwright of Virginia Beach, VA; nephew, Corry M. Cartwright, niece, Candice C. Brown, and a host of loving family members and friends.
