Rebecca "Brownie" Fox

Brownie Fox, born February 8, 1952, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2026. She was a devoted wife, cherished, mother, beloved sister, and treasured friend, who left this world surrounded by the love she so freely gave to others.

She was THE very definition of kindness - loving, caring, and selfless in every sense. Her generosity knew no bounds. She truly never met a stranger – only friends she had not yet made.

A woman of strong Christian faith, she lived her life as a reflection of God’s love. Her faith was her foundation and her guiding light, giving her strength in every season and inspiring those around her. She shared her faith, not only through words, but through her actions, demonstrating grace, compassion, and humility in all she did.

As a wife, she was a steadfast partner and a constant source of encouragement, and love. As a mother, she was nurturing, devoted, and deeply proud, creating a home filled with warmth, laughter, and unconditional love. As a sister, she was loyal and supportive, always there with a listening ear and an open heart. And as a friend, she was incomparable – genuine, dependable, and deeply caring.

Her life was a testament to the beauty of giving, the power of faith, and the importance of human connection. The impact she made on those around her is immeasurable, and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who have had the privilege of knowing her.

While we grieve her absence, we take comfort in knowing she is at peace, embraced in eternal life, and rejoicing in the presence of her Lord and Savior.

She will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
