For the last year of her life, Mary battled pancreatic cancer. She said many times throughout the past year, that cancer was a gift from God and that she was not afraid of her future. She enjoyed her days in the infusion room at Eastside Cancer Center for the opportunities to visit and talk with others.
Mary was a member at North Hills Church in Taylors, SC. She loved young people and was involved in Child Evangelism Fellowship, an organization whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls. She volunteered with the Good News Clubs at Brook Glenn Elementary School. For many years, Mary worked as a nanny taking care of many children. She was also very creative and loved decorating for others. Mary loved helping others especially if it involved making something more beautiful.
She is survived by a son, Scott Brown; two daughters, Heather Gaunt (Tim) and Heidi Brown; one brother, Jim Ballentine (Marva); one sister, Louise Erickson (Rod); and five grandchildren, Christa Brown, William Gaunt, Matthew Gaunt, Abby Bennett, and Erin Haynes.
She was predeceased by her husband of 51 years, Marvin W. Brown; and one grandson, Robert Scott Brown.
