Alice Browning

Alice Browning's passing signifies the end of the closest acquaintances I have left in State College, where the late Barton Browning and now Alice were my dearest friends and anchors in State College. My relationship with both of them goes back many years when I first met Barton during my research periods at the Duke August Library in Wolfenbüttel, Germany. This is where Barton's primary sources as well as mine--both of us researching in the "Early Modern Period" (1450-1700)--allowed us to...

I remember Mr. and Mrs. Browning as being the kindest and caring people at Park Forest United Methodist. I met them when my father, Rev. Edward Younken, was pastor, and I had the honor of babysitting Sarah and George. I have never forgotten the time when Alice reached out to me to show concern when my parents separated. I saw Barton a few years ago when we stopped to pick up our apple pies. They were a beautiful couple. My heart is with Sarah and George and their families.

Alice subbed for me several times at State High. I could always count on her to do an excellent job. I also liked her as a person.

Alice and Bart were two people I was always glad to run into at different events. I left the discussion enriched by both.
