Hazel Brown

Hazel L Brown, 86, formerly of Odessa, passed away on February 24, 2020 in Georgetown, TX. We extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to the Tiffin House Memory Care staff and owner as she received exceptional care that made her comfortable and happy for the past 12 months.

Hazel was born at home in Kilgore, TX to Alvin & Ruth Reid on June 6, 1933.  She married Roy R Brown on December 1, 1951 in Kilgore, TX. They were married for 56 years when he preceded her in death on July 19, 2008.  She was a member of Eisenhower Church of Christ. Odessa was her home for 60 years where she made many lifetime friends while raising the family.

She worked for Sears Roebuck for many years as a credit department clerk and in shipping and receiving. Also, she served as an administrative assistant at ECISD. She found great joy while caring for and playing with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved going to their local school activities, seeing them graduate, marry and bring on the next generation.

Traveling was something she always made time for with family and friends. She had so much fun going to lakes, mountains, historical sites, taking a cruise or visiting entertainment locations throughout the United States including Alaska, Hawaii, the Caribbean Islands and Baja Mexico.
