With hearts full of love and gratitude, we share the peaceful passing of Elder Bobbie Ann Brand, affectionately known as Ma, Granny, Grandmama B, and lovingly called Elder Bobbie. On November 24, 2025… Her transition was gentle, leaving a legacy of faith and love.
Born on November 24, 1954, in Joiner, Arkansas, to the late George and Irene Robinson, Elder Bobbie entered the world as a light, a light she would carry, nurture, and share with everyone she encountered.
A devoted wife to her beloved husband Jimmie, and a proud mother of two sons, Jevon and Jauan, she poured her heart into her family. Her grandchildren were her joy, and she covered them with love, scripture, and prayer, planting seeds of faith that will grow for generations.
Elder Bobbie’s life was filled with compassion, laughter, and unwavering love. She embraced people with warmth, and her joyful spirit made everyone feel at home.
In 1998, at the Back to the Bible Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, she surrendered her life to Christ a defining moment that strengthened her faith and commitment. She later joined Community Harvest Missionary Baptist Church, where her service and spiritual growth flourished.
Elder Bobbie was an encourager, a vessel of inspiration, and a faithful servant of the Lord. In February 2017, she was ordained as an Elder and Licensed Minister at All Nations Deliverance Ministries. Her dedication continued at God’s Miracle Temple, where she served humbly until the Lord called her home.
She served faithfully in the Mayor’s Office as a secretary and later at the airport, retiring in 2020 after many years of dedicated service to her community.
Stylish and elegant, she loved to adorn herself with scarves and jewelry, expressing her personality with grace. She was well-versed in scripture and lived what she taught unity, love, and family. Her life was a testimony of faith in action.
A worshiper at heart, she loved to praise the Lord. She was an intercessor, a prayer warrior, a teacher, and an evangelist. Bold in her witness, steadfast in her calling, she carried a compassionate heart that longed for all to know Christ. Her deepest desire was simple yet profound: To live a life that pleased the Lord.
She was preceded in death by her brothers J.W. Robinson, George Robinson, and Willie Robinson, and her sister Rosie Robinson.
Left to cherish her beautiful legacy is her beloved husband Jimmie Brand; her sons Jevon (Katrina, daughter-in-love) and Jauan (Patrice, daughter-in-love); her treasured grandchildren Khloe, Kaycee, and Jauan Jr.; four brothers James Robinson, Eddie (Cora) Robinson, L.C. (Diane) Robinson, and Leo (Muriel) Robinson; four sisters Naomi Payne, Emma Perry, Margrette (Joch) Williams, and Jeanne (Peter) Jackson; sister-in-law Deloris (Frank) Lathan, Sharon Brand, brother-in-law Frank Brand, David Brand and a host of loving nieces, nephews, relatives, friends, and her church family.
Though she has departed this earthly home, her light, her prayers, and her love will continue to echo through the lives she touched. Her legacy of faith will live on FOREVER!
