Susan Marie Brown

Susan Marie Brown was born in Flint, Michigan to Leonard K. and Betty J. VanDette on October 30, 1961, the youngest of four children. Susan graduated from Flint Southwestern High School and received her bachelor’s degree in History from Central Michigan University.

Susan met and married her best friend and love of her life, Patrick Allen Brown, shortly after moving to Texas. From that day forward the two were inseparable. Together they ran their own business, but their greatest pride was in raising their two children.

Susan was an avid golfer, with a single digit handicap. She enjoyed cooking and was often complimented for the wonderful dishes she would prepare. She loved the outdoors, whether it be hunting or fishing or camping, but most of all she loved her entire family, sharing a close and loving relationship with them.

Susan is survived by her loving husband Patrick A. Brown, two wonderful children, Patrick Leonard Brown and Erin Lynn Brown. Susan is also survived by her father, Leonard K. VanDette(Tina) and her siblings: Lisa Ann Timm(Roy), Cynthia Lee Brown(Patric), and Mark Leonard VanDette(Robin), and several beloved nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, and cousins. Susan is preceded in death by her loving mother Betty J. VanDette, her grandparents Leonard M. and Annette VanDette, Roy and Marie McFarland.

Susan passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, after a short yet courageous battle against cancer. She will be deeply missed by all of her family and friends.
