She was preceded in death by her parents, Wade and Georgette Brown and grandparents, Joseph and Georgette Schell.
She leaves her "family of choice", Penni Williams; Karen, Fred, Christina, and Sandy Lyda; Carla, Dallas and Darin Bowman; You will never know the depth of love and gratitude she held for you for all you did!
Next to the love of her family and friends was her love for animals. She joins Mouser, Murphy, and Molly.
Her hobbies included reading, going to the theater/ballet, ceramics, knitting/crocheting, scrapbooking, calligraphy, Disneyland, collecting Sorcerer Mickey items, and volunteering to help veterans, hospice patients, and animals. She loved to travel and had special memories of her trips to the British Isles, especially her first glimpse Ireland.
