Her hobbies included taking care of her dogs and caring for her home. Her greatest loves were showing dogs, spending time with grandchildren, and spending time with friends and family.

Those left to honor her memory include her daughters Jennifer Schnell (Louie), Amy Gaghagen (Michael), and her son Adam Brown (Laura), 9 grandbabies, Caleb, Joshua, Emily, William, Gabriel, Nathan, Nyssa, Keifer, and Brach, her brothers, Philip Duggan (Marita) and Earle Duggan (Betty), many brothers and sisters-in-law in the Brown family, and friends too numerous to list. She is preceded in death by her loving husband, Bill Brown, her parents, and a grandson, Austin Louis Schnell.

The family would like to especially thank the doctors and staff at the Holden Gynecological Oncology Clinic at University of Iowa and the staff at Genesis Hospice Center for the loving care and support she received from each. Memorials may be made to either of these amazing organizations.
