Read More	Doreen Barbara Brown It is with profound sadness and great loss that the family of a most amazing Mother, announces the passing of Doreen (nee Gill) Barbara Brown on Saturday, November 22, 2014 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital, in Fredericton, NB, surrounded by members of her loving and devoted family. The family would like to thank the great staff at the Dr. Everett Chalmers hospital for the great care Mom received during her brief time at the hospital. We would also like to thank the fine folks at Paradise Villa for the great care she received since moving there last year. Born in Ufton, England on April 11, 1919, Doreen was the eldest daughter of the late William and Doris (Fields) Gill. She was baptized in the Church of England as an infant. At the age of 7, Doreen emigrated to Canada with her parents and three siblings aboard the Andania, her Father having received a land grant. She loved being from England and was a proud expatriate, but never returned to the place of her birth. Upon arriving in New Brunswick, she attended school on Howland Ridge. After finishing school she went to work, as was the custom of the day. She had many different positions and lived in Marysville, NB for a time, working as a house keeper for Mrs. Kelly and helping Mrs. Kelly do cleaning at the Marysville Cotton Mill. It was during this time that she was a member of the Salvation Army Church. On November 9, 1938 she married her sweetheart, Douglas Lombray Brown (late). Her family legacy includes 16 children, 36 grandchildren, 44 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild. Doreen was employed in many different capacities during her life as she worked so hard to raise her family: she picked potatoes and worked on potato harvesters, she was a cook in a long-term care facility in Ontario, a hairdresser for many in the village and she cleaned house for several people. Never afraid of hard work, she did what she could to ensure her children had the necessities of life. Being a Mother was her greatest joy. In order to do this she was very proud of achieving her driver’s license for the first time at the age of 51. She was a member of the RCL Millville Branch #59, and a life long Liberal. Doreen was a great advocate for her little “Village in the Valley” - Millville; having worked many years on the committees that included planning winter carnivals, sports events talent contests and bake sales. She and Gerald shared many years of horsing. She also played the guitar at one time and always loved to sing. She said she one day wished she could have been a professional singer. She is survived by her children: Carolyn Braun, Millville, NB; Carmen (Doug Anderson) LaFontaine, Vernon, BC; William (Billy) (Myrtle Liston) Brown, Howland Ridge, NB; Percy (Helen) Brown, Okotokos, AB; Paul (Terrie Willems) Brown, Mississauga, ON; Bette-Jean Brown, Millville, NB; George (Teresa) Brown, Maple Ridge, NB; Daphne Brown, Kamloops, BC; Marty (Martha) (Phil Whiteside) Brown, St. Stephen, NB; Merlin (Brenda) Brown, Riverview, NB; Dannie (Judith) Brown, North Sydney, NS; Michael (Susan) Brown, Newburg, NB and Christopher (Tracey) Brown, Fredericton, NB.
