ICYMI:Andy Brown And Chiwoniso Maraire’s Daughter Dies In The US

The Brown and Maraire family are mourning the death of fifteen year old daughter of the late Andy Brown and Chiwoniso Maraire Chiedza, who passed away on Saturday in Texas USA.

Chiedza was living with her mom’s sister in America at the time of her death. Her family has since released the below statement following the untimely death of Chiedza.

“We are heartbroken to share the news that Chiedza Brown has passed away tragically on Saturday, September 12, 2015. Chiedza was a loving daughter, sister, cousin and friend. She was a remarkable girl who touched the lives of everyone who met her.”

Chiedza was an accomplished singer, painter, actress and had a true love and gift for playing the mbira that she learned from her mother. She was known to all for her bright energy and was always laughing. She was an incredibly caring person who had dreams of pursuing her art and music. She will be remembered for her energy, her smile and her love for all.

The Maraire and Brown families are asking for privacy as they mourn the loss of such a young life.

For those who may ask what they can do to honor Chiedza, the family asks that you please send donations to help with her services in Texas and her burial with her family in Zimbabwe. Donations can be made via PayPal to the Chiedza Brown Memorial Fund ([email protected]).

Service details will be announced in the next few days. The family thanks everyone for their support and respect.

Condolences messages have been pouring on social media platforms to her family.
