Gertrude Browning Obituary


Gertrude Ann Browning, 80 years old, of Live Oak, CA, known to everyone as Grandma Browning, passed away on August 13, 2020.

Grandma was raised by a hardworking family in Auburn, CA. She was married to R.A Browning for over 40 years before he passed away in 2008.

She had 6 children, 15 grandchildren, dozens of great-grandchildren, and a multitude of people in the community that loved her as "grandma."

Grandma never met a stranger. She loved and cherished everyone she met. She would tell everyone "I love you" because "you never know if they need to hear it." Grandma loved people. She also loved long drives, word searches, and her dog, Hank. She has left behind a legacy of love in the hearts of everyone who knew her.

Instead of flowers, in honor of Grandma Browning, the family requests that you love on someone today. You never know how much they may need it.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

We loved grandma and our boys loved grandma. She loved to hug and give everyone kisses! She was generous and would give you everything she had to you if you needed it. Her legacy is love for sure. I only hope to hope her by living a life of love and teaching our children to do the same. We are truly sorry for your loss.
