Kathleen Marie Brown

With her four children, mom planted the seed of love, the knowledge of God our Father, and the hope of our salvation in Jesus Christ. With those seeds, more seeds have been planted. Generations will follow with the seeds she has cultivated. Mom acknowledged the love God had for her and in return, loved everyone. Thus serving her purpose on this earth.

An infectious smile and generous spirit, Kathleen Marie Brown, was known as Grammy to her ten grandchildren - Greg, Hannah, Emma, Megan, Sammie, Kyle, Gabriel, Mia, Allison and Teagen.
