She and her life partner and
spouse, Beverley Rozaire-
Brown, travelled extensively
to many places on the globe
such as Siberia, the Seychelles
and Kenya, as well as visits to
Europe and many long cruises.
For 15 years they travelled
to every state and most
Canadian provinces in their
motor homes.
They purchased second
homes in the Phoenix and the
Palm Springs area. About 17
years ago, they purchased their
dream home in Kla-Ha-Nee, in
Florence.
Gene especially loved beach
walking with her dogs as well
as sitting watching the ocean
from her home.
A consummate hostess, she
loved entertaining, throwing
huge parties, having friends
visit, playing cards and living
life to its fullest. Her kindness,
wit and love for her friends
will be sorely missed.
She was very artistic, taught
gourd-burning art and made
and gave away many great
gourd pieces to her friends.
The last month of her life
was spent in the hospital and in
a skilled nursing facility.
Her many friends visited on
a daily basis and brought her
Boston Terrier, Buster Brown,
to visit her daily.
She had a peaceful, comfort-
able passing, first preceded by
a harpist, then a few minutes
later surrounded by loved ones
and medical staff.
She is survived by her
spouse Beverley; her sister,
Eleanor, of Payson, Ariz.;
nieces and caregivers Anne,
Sue and Wendy; nephew
Dennis; as well as many, many
good friends and loved ones,
especially John and Ronnie,
who were always there for her.
A memorial event will be
held on Heceta Beach in late
spring.
Donations may be made in
her honor to the Florence Area
Humane Society.
“I thank my God upon every
remembrance of you. Always
in every prayer of mine, of you
all making request for joy.”
(Philipians 1:3-4)
