She was born July 4, 1930 to the late Frank P. and Lucy G. (Mingua) Smith.
Margaret married her late husband, Charles D. Brown, on April 7, 1951. Together, they lovingly raised their family during their 47 years of marriage before his passing in March of 1998. She enjoyed many activities which included; starting her day with coffee and a danish, crossword puzzles, diving into a good mystery book, admiring the roses in her garden, and watching Jeopardy. Her family and friends will greatly miss her feisty, outgoing, and unselfish spirit which was perfectly paired with her generous heart of gold.
Margaret is survived by her children, Linda Webb, Cheryl Owens, Charles D. Brown, Jr., David Lee Brown, and Douglas Alan Brown; sister, Judy (Tom) Woodbury; 10 grandchildren, Melissa, Rodney (Trecy), Christopher (Rebk), Carrie (Sonny), Sheila (David), Bo (Brandi), Chelsey (Dakota), Diana, Deanna, and Allison (Cody); 7 great grandchildren, Aaron, Austin, Alexis, Alex, Brian, Jonathon, and Brandon; cousin and special friend, Martha White; along with many beloved nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
In addition to her parents and husband, Margaret was preceded in death by her niece, Delorcie, and sisters, Jean Gray and Nina Bolser.
