Mrs. Brown worked many years, well into her seventies, as a purchasing agent at AVX, accumulating many life-long friends and baking many birthday cakes for co-workers. She was a wonderful cook and seamstress, and an avid Clemson fan. She and her late husband had many years of fun dancing with the Sun Dancers western style square dance club in Conway. She could not resist collecting just one more beautiful miniature tea set, tea pot, or doll, and she had a collection of hats that she wore regularly that would rival anyone. Most of all she cherished holidays, good food and family meals together. Through the years, she was very active in her church especially United Methodist Women, serving in local, district and state offices.
