Obituary for Lula Mae Jordan
Mrs. Lula Mae Jordan was born in Florence South Carolina to the late Charlie Brown and Louise Hennix on August 17, 1944. She departed this earthly life on March 26, 2025, after a brief illness.
Lula Mae graduated from Wilson High School in Florence, South Carolina where she played forward on the basketball team. After graduating from high school, she married her grade school sweetheart, David Jordan on January 4, 1964. Davidβs military service in the Airforce brought them to Boston Massachusetts. From then on you rarely saw one without the other. She initially worked as a candy stripper at NECCO candy factory in Cambridge MA. She thereafter worked for Boston Edison electric company, as a clerical worker in the mailroom for over 27 years until she retired in 1999. Then she took on her most loved job as Nana in charge, caring for and shepherding her grandchildren along with numerous other students and neighborsβ children back and forth to school activities, dance, and music lessons etc.
She remained a long-time member of the Concord Baptist Church (CBC), starting at its location in the South End for over 50 years. At CBC she continued to serve in several capacities for years, including Fred D. Jeter Choir, Women of Praise, Mass Choir and the Lois Prout Missionary and kitchen ministry, cooking and serving, famous for her potato salad. Her last service was just 1 week prior to her illness. She was available when needed.
Lula was well balanced woman who hardly expressed anger, she believed in βsay what you mean and mean what you sayβ in love. She was humble and observant. She was always praying. She was an ear to some and an encourager to many. She was always on the phone. She continued her missionary work beyond the church walls and spent numerous hours βcalling to check in on youβ and always praying for you. She spent her days talking to the Lordβ and being still. She consulted the Lord on every decision. Even on her death bed she said βThe Lord has me in the wilderness right now, but Lord has me and I will be o.k.
She saw things via rose colored glasses and the glass was half full and always reminded us to use our long-handled spoon. She loved most spending time with people, her family, and children, over holidays, birthdays, playing spades and βjust havingβ fun. She had a forgiving heart and warm and welcoming smile. She always trusted the lord.
She was an avid sports fan of basketball, football, golf, and especially her Boston Celtics!
She was preceded in death by her parents Charlie and Louise Brown, daughter, Sharon Jordan, siblings Charles Brown, Harry Brown, Mary Gee, Caroline Brown Garbo, and Willie Mae Hicks.
She is survived by her husband of over 61 years, David Jordan of Boston MA, her daughters Deborah Jordan of Boston MA and Pamela Kelly and son-in-law, Conrad Kelly of Milton, MA, stepson David Micheal Repici of Boston, a beloved Nana to her 4 granddaughters, Danielle Jordan, Olivia Kelly, Lauren Kelly and Grace Kelly. well-loved Auntie to Ruby Crawford of Boston and great Auntie to Samuel Crawford, his wife Kristen and great-grandnephew Samir and her βgrand dogβ Coco.
Also left to mourn by her sister, Rosa Lee Thomas, and brother Chalie Brown Jr. of South Carolina, her sister-in- laws Martha Brown of Boston, Annie Wilson of Virginia and Melvina Ellis of Detroit and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and dear friends.
