Agnes J. Brown

October 23, 1929 - June 17, 2016

Agnes Joan Brown (Sis), 86, born in Vineland, later moved to Port Elizabeth to live with her children, passed on, June 17, comfortable at home, cared for by the “Angels” of Compassionate Care Hospice. Aggie with her “special grace” happily lived in her world with Alzheimer’s/Dementia for 10 years. “Sometimes we felt she was faking it, by having us dote on her, to see which of us, loved her the most.” She was a stay at home mom, volunteered for the Salvation Army, worked Part Time for an Answering Service and had owned her own Flower business at one time. Her passions were reading, singing, swing music, poetry, painting, crossword puzzles, trolling Gandy’s Beach and collecting (some would call it hoarding). A strong woman with a heart of gold would help any person or animal in need. We grew up thinking our home was a shelter for the wayward and strays. She always had sage advice when it was needed. A wonderful mother, she leaves behind her family that she loved all equally, Rusty, Billy, Shelly and John, Grandchildren Joelene, Karinn, Ethan, close friends who brightened her day with their patience and kindness, caregiver Caitlyn and most special friend, her caregiver, Karen. She was predeceased by her father, Walter “Catty” Hughes, mother Agnes Rutherford Hughes, sister Janet and brother “Buzzy”. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Compassionate Care Hospice Foundation, Newark, DE @ www.cchfoundation.net. A private memorial and celebration of her life will be at a later date.
