Mrs. Brown gave freely of her services to the church. She was an active member of the Ladies Aid and the Missionary Societies and was a steward of the church.

Increasing disability was her lot which she suffered with a beautiful faith and spirit. Her last years have been lengthened by the constant and loving care of her husband.
