Jean BROWN Obituary
She was a past Worthy Matron of Order of Eastern Star. Jean had a zest for life and always surrounded herself with family and friends. She loved to cook and bake and was the most gracious hostess for her family get-togethers. The Lord has given Jean peace and a new home in heaven with Him.
She was preceded in death by parents; husband, Jones H. Brown; sisters and a niece.
She is survived by her son, Joseph "Joey" H. Brown; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Funeral services officiated by the Rev. Clarence Hilling will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday at Hogg Funeral Home, Gloucester Point. Interment will follow in Rosewell Memorial Garden Cemetery. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 1 to 2 p.m. Thursday at the funeral home.
The family would like to thank the Walter Reed Convalescent Center Staff, Riverside Walter Reed Hospice Staff and special thanks to Martha Rhodes, Elizabeth Brown, Stuart Agnor and Debra Skidmore for the care and love given to Jean.

My thoughts and prayers are with all the love ones. She was one of the sweetest people I ever known in my life.
I remember her at Achilles HS. I thought she was one of the prettiest girls in school. I can remember her being the "May Queen" and I was in grade school
Jean never met a stranger, and she would stop and talk whenever you met her.
May God bless the family that she loved so dearly.
Sincerely.
