In 1946, Mr. Brown was transferred again with his job to Houston where they made their first home on Shepherd Drive and later on East 25th Street. In 1950, Mr. Brown was transferred to the Denver Harbor area where he worked at the Venus and Globe Theaters and lived on Zoe Street. Mrs. Brown worked in Houston for many years in the commercial catering business owning her own fleet of trucks. However, her love had always been in flowers.

Mrs. Brown is also survived by her special niece, Betty Lang Walker of Altair, Texas, whom she looked upon as her daughter, giving her support, guidance and love from her early childhood to the present time, always being there for her all her life. In growing up, Betty lived with her aunt off and on for many years and always considered her as her 2nd mother.
