Lieselotte "Lilo" Brown

Lilo was born in Gelsenkirchen, Germany to Friedrich and Augusta Peters on July 20, 1925. In school she excelled as a scholar and athlete, and was particularly noted for her swimming prowess. After marriage Lilo traveled widely as a military wife before settling in Columbia, SC with her husband and nine children. She expressed her lifelong love of nature and beauty in oil paintings and through gardening; she enjoyed filling her home with antiques and collectables and was an early pioneer in DIY home improvements; and on the rare occasions she allowed herself to relax she enjoyed reading a good book or volume of poetry.
