Joanne Margaret Mueller Brown
January 29, 1930 – January 21, 2015
Mom is having a reunion in heaven. Class reunion, Cut Bank 1948, family reunion, or state of Montana -DNRC reunion. Her favorite plan was to get everyone together for coffee, potluck, or dessert and talk. OKAY, let’s be honest shopping was her favorite thing, but always with a daughter, granddaughter, or friend who could not say no. Mom you will be missed by so many. Your enthusiasm, energy, and ideas about what friends and family would enjoy always at a bargain price.
Joanne would get together to organize your kitchen or if you came for lunch the grilled cheese may be a little “brown” ,but your welcome was always warm.
Christmas and birthdays will never be the same for Susan Kimpton, Dennis (Cheryl) Brown, David (Patricia) Brown, Jody (Jeff) Manwarren, grand kids Loren, Lora, Sam, Annah, and JoHanna. Great grands – JoCie who was G -G’s joy after Norm died and Lucas a sparkle for her last Christmas. Christine Miller became a special friend, taking care of mom for the last year. Mom adopted our friends as family, our kids, and dogs. Her heart was always open for more loved ones. Celebrate her gift of giving and love.

Hi folks,
We did not receive the death notice until a couple of days ago as it was forwarded by the Postal Service to us in Florida. We are sorry to hear that your mom has passed away , but she is now with her parents and Norm. We have considered ourselves as extended family since Laura and Fred opened their home to us in1952 for each Holiday. May God continue to bless you all.
