August 10, 1928 — August 10, 2015
Marjorie S. Brown, 87, of Stow, died unexpectedly Monday, August 10, 2015 at Stow Glen Retirement Center.
She was born June 23, 1928 in Kent, to Elton and Helen (Bauer) Horning and was raised on the family farm on Horning Road, named after her Father and Uncle. She attended St. Patrick Grade School and Kent State High School. She was a member of St. Patrick Church in Kent and was a member of the St. Michael Circle. She met her husband Pete through her soon to be mother-in-law, a co-member of a St. Patrick's Women's club. She helped and supported her husband in his Kent Based Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Appliance Business, Better Living. The family moved to Sandusky living there for several years before returning to the Stow-Kent area in 1991. In addition to being an ardent Cleveland sports fan especially following the Indians, Marjorie was a huge fan of her children supporting them through various endeavors and a strong comforter through many challenges. She enjoyed old movies and could quote many a script, especially "Gone With The Wind" or "The Sound of Music". She enjoyed reading, baking sugar cookies, cross stitch, crosswords and family holidays, especially Thanksgiving.
She is survived by her children, James (Steven Benko) Brown of Stow, Greg (Kristin) Brown of Delta, Michael (Leslie) Brown of Lenexa, KS, Brenda (Jeff) Becker of Smithville, MO and Jennifer (Matt) Jenne of Green Springs; grandchildren, Jacob and Joshua Jenne, Luke, Emma and Cole Becker, William and Alexander Brown, Heather Taylor and Hailee Smith; sister, Mary Ellen (Dale) Hissem of Franklinton, NC; sister-in-law, Nancy (Brown) Martin; brothers-in-law, Raymond Martin, Stan Drongowski and Bruce Arbaugh. She was preceded in death by her husband, Peter D. Brown; sisters, Baby Catherine Horning, Martha Whalen, Dorothy Drongowski, Sally Moyer, Claire Arbaugh and sister-in-law Anne (Brown) Orosz. She loved time spent with family, especially the times with her sisters. There was always much laughter, singing and love.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt appreciation to the staff and caregivers at Stow Glen for the comfort and care given to our Mom.
