PEMBROKE and CHARLOTTE Edna “Frenchie” Doris Brown, 80, died Sept. 4, 2004, at a Calais hospital surrounded by her family following a long illness. She was born April 16, 1924, in Milltown, N.B., Canada, the daughter of Jennie (Mitchell) and Joseph Comeau. She married Jerrold Leigh Brown in 1948. The couple lived in Calais and raised their daughter there. Mrs. Brown worked for several years at the IGA Foodliner and A & P Supermarket in Calais. In later years, she and her late husband moved to Charlotte where they lived in the cottage they built on the shores of Round Pond. She moved to Pembroke two years ago following his death. For many years she battled heart disease and was a feisty breast cancer survivor while being totally devoted to her family. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother as well as an avid birdwatcher and enjoyed keeping scrapbooks and journals. She was a member of both Charlotte and Pembroke historical societies. She is survived by a daughter, Bonnie Hunter and her husband, Robert of Pembroke; three grandchildren, Robin Montgomery of Glen Burnie, Md., Ronald Spearin III and Rhonda Spearin of Charlotte; two great-grandchildren, Danielle Scott and Nathan Montgomery of Glen Burnie, Md., a special son-in-law, Ronald Spearin Jr. of Charlotte; several nieces and nephews. In addition to her husband, she was also predeceased by three brothers and ten sisters. There will be no visiting hours. A private graveside service will be held for the family.
