She is survived by her husband Paul Brown; daughters Geneva Huffman, Grethel Johnson, Jeanine Parker; son Carl Brown, 8 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and all the others who knew her as a Granny to everyone.

With love and prayers for the family. Doris will be greatly missed by all our family.
Love you all. We will miss Doris so much but our happy memories of her will help us. Treasure your memories and your family in the coming days.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I have a lifetime of memories with Aunt Doris and family. My best vacations as a child were spent at their house on Mars Hill and in Kentucky. She had a special bond with my mom and even came to Illinois to take care of her before she passed in 2000. I can just see my mom and Aunt Margaret waiting for her at Heaven’s gate. I am sending love and blessings to the family. Sandy Dunn
