BROWN Judy G. Truglia Brown departed this earth on May 20th at her home in Leicester, North Carolina after a brief illness.

She is also survived by 19 grandchildren and 3 great-granddaughters. She was an expert seamstress, gourmet cook, avid gardener and tireless volunteer; always ready for a new adventure in life and setting a high standard for us all to aspire to. An active member of Shepherd of the Woods Lutheran Church in Jacksonville, she served on the church council and altar guild, made quilts for Lutheran World Relief and participated in missionary work from Alabama to Peru.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Chris and the family. I will miss her smiling face at church on Sunday mornings and seeing her so happy and cheerful in the parades downtown. She was such a wonderful proponent of Women's Health.
