She trained as a nurse in Armagh Royal Hospital and then qualified as a S.R.N in the Royal Victoria Hospital, here she was highly respected by all the staff and 
patients alike.

She enjoyed ballroom dancing and music and going out with her husband to 
different places.

Her main interest, however, was centred around her home and family and it is there that her passing will be mostly felt.

She was a member of Holy Trinity Parish Church.

She is survived by her husband, son, her father Mr. Robert Brown (Markethill), sisters Margaret (Scotland), Lynne (Hamiltonsbawn) and Pat (England) and brother Barry (Markethill). To these and all other relatives sincere sympathy has been extended.
