Mom was born in 1937 to Blanche Grace Denison and George Edward Brown in  Centerville, Utah. Her life-long love for that beautiful, small town of her  childhood, was manifest through years of study, research, interviewing,  replicating, and documenting its history. Her home is filled with many paintings  of historical sites, binders filled with years of research, and reproduction models.  She was co-author of the book “Centerville Utah, an American Home town.” 

Survived by her Sister, Gae Fausett and her Brother, Denny Brown, six children;  Kim Alberts (Peter), Tina Ellis (Ricky), LaRae Torres (Jose), Kathy Boothe, Julie  Soderborg (David), Jim Anderson and many grandchildren and great  grandchildren.
