Dorothy Marion BROWN

It is with great sadness that the family of Dorothy Marion Brown announce her passing on November 13, 2022. Dorothy, a much loved and life-long resident of her beloved city of Galt, Ontario, passed peacefully in her sleep at the age of 98 years. Dorothy's life was defined by selflessness and giving. She was actively involved in her community, her church, and was a devoted and loving daughter, wife, and mother to her family. Dorothy tirelessly volunteered her time and energy with the Cambridge Silver Star Society, the Red Cross, the Cambridge Hospital Auxiliary, and Meals on Wheels. And, as a long-standing member of the Church Choir and the Women of the Church, Dorothy became a steadfast fixture of Knox's Presbyterian Church, Galt. She loved summers at the cottage, and time at home with her bridge club, her bowling league, and Sunday gatherings with her family. She will be remembered by her children, John Gordon Brown (Betty Ann Brown), Mary Elizabeth Lyon (Michael Duncan Lyon), and Robert Peter Brown (Sherry Anne Robinson); her grandchildren, Scott Allen Brown, Darcy Oliver Brown (Jennifer Anne Brown), Taryn Elizabeth McGillis (James William McGillis), Mark Andrew Lyon, Michael Richard Lyon (Genevieve Lyon), Caithrin Alexander Rintoul, Jenna Louise Brown, and six greatgrandchildren. She was predeceased by John Peter Brown, her husband of 52 years, her eldest son, James Allen Brown, his wife Carol Brown, and their son, Gregory James Brown. A service for Dorothy will be held on November 26, 2022, at 2:00 p.m., Corbett Funeral Home, 95 Dundas St N, Cambridge, Ontario. Memorial Donations may be made in Dorothy's name to The Cambridge Food Bank, 54 Ainslie St S, Cambridge, Ontario N1R 3K3. The family wishes to thank the staff at Chartwell Queen's Square Terrace and at Freeport Hospital for their excellent care and compassion.
