VICKIE LYNNE BROWN Obituary (1956 - 2015)

On October 20, 2015, Vickie Lynne Brown, 58, returned home to the loving arms of her parents and her Heavenly Father. Her perfect angelic spirit is no longer challenged mentally or physically by Down's Syndrome. She was born to Leonard John and Otella Gae Tolman Brown on October 24, 1956. She was preceded in death by her mother and father and half brothers, Clifford J. Brown and Neil S. Brown, and brother–in-law, Rodney Milligan. Vickie is survived by her sister, Carrie (Bill) Atkin; half brother, Leonard R (Jayne) Brown; half sisters, Karen Milligan, Barbara (Eyston) Petersen, and Donna (Bob) Clark; sisters-in-law, Betty Brown and Jessica Cluff, and many nieces and nephews. At the age of ten, Vickie, lost her mother and was then cared for by her father. When he passed away she was cared for by a number of care centers. Each one remarking that she was patient and had a sweet and loving personality. As a family we extend our deepest gratitude to all those who have cared for our sister, sister-in-law, and aunt, and especially those who snuck in Reese's peanut butter cups and sodas for her, Vickie always loved them the most. We will miss their stories of Vickie's sense of humor, like when she would tease the caregivers by telling them it was snowing outside during a hot summer day. Vickie loved music especially old country songs, having her hair and nails done, and grabbing on to your hand and holding tight. Her favorite time of the day was 'mealtime'. Vickie had a special gift in this life, she could soften your heart. Vickie's pure innocence always brought more joy to those around her than we could ever repay her with. Vickie's mission on this earth is finally complete and her next mission has begun. We all look forward to the time when we can meet our beloved sister and aunt unconfined by the limitations of her mortal body and get to know her as the valiant, joyful and loving spirit that spirit she has always been.
