A home-going service will be held Friday at First A.M.E. Church-Los Angeles beginning at 11 a.m. for local community activist, Brenda Marsh-Mitchell, who passed away on Aug. 2 from cardiac failure after being rushed to emergency surgery.
Marsh-Mitchell was well known as a member of the board of directors for the Los Angeles Sentinel. She worked effortlessly in the African American community trying to better the lives of so many people, especially those less fortunate. When she set her mind to doing any projects she sought out, she accomplished them.
She was dedicated and determined to enforce community empowerment and community service in the Los Angeles area.
In a brief statement, Danny Bakewell Sr., chairman and executive publisher of the Los Angeles Sentinel said: “I am deeply saddened at the loss of my friend and confidant Brenda Marsh-Mitchell. Brenda loved and believed in family and dedicated her life to serving and fighting for what is best for our people.”
The church is located at 2270 S. Harvard Blvd., Los Angeles.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Mothers In Action, c/o Brotherhood Crusade, 200 E. Slauson Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90011.
