Obituary of Lilian Brown

BROWN, LILIAN THERESA peacefully passed away with her family at her bedside on March 7, 2011 at 4:10pm at the Kingston General Hospital. Beloved Mother to Gregory (Victoria), Janice (Patrick), Jeffrey (Courtney) and Gordon, MP. Cherished Nana to Nicole, Colin, Sean, Graeme, Chancellor; and fondly remembered by her friend Lois. Lilian was born on December 19, 1932 in England and moved to Scotland as a child. She immigrated to Toronto in 1954 with her husband, the late Sydney Brown and on September 1, 1970, the family moved to Gananoque. Lilian was a local business woman and Innkeeper for over 40 years. Recently celebrating her 78th birthday, Lilian was hardworking and dedicated to her business. Her involvement in the day-to-day operations was evident up until a sudden medical emergency on December 26, 2010. She will be remembered by friends, many employees, and especially her family as one of the most stunningly beautiful, determined, respected, strong, warmhearted and loving woman of her time. Lilian and family are grateful to all the doctors, nurses, caregivers and volunteers at the Kingston General Hospital who were so kind and caring during the last few months. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the United Way of Leeds and Grenville (PO Box 576, Brockville, ON K6V 5V7); The Gananoque and District Humane Society; or to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario in Lilian Brown's honor would be appreciated by the family. A private family celebration of Lilian's life will be held at Tompkins Funeral Home in Gananoque and Lilian will be laid to rest at the Gananoque Cemetery.
