Carol Brown Obituary
Carol passed away serenely on Sunday, June 7, 2009, after an unexpected medical event on the
preceding Friday. Her family and friends were at her side as she slipped away peacefully. She was born Carol Joan Northway on
August 23, 1935 in
Spokane, WA to George and Lillian (Sorenson) Northway. Carol was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend. She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Connie M. Brown of Spokane, sons - George and (Penny) Brown of Spokane, James and (Lisa) Brown of Spokane, daughters - Sherry and (Clark) Campbell of Spokane and Kim Brown and (Katy Bardsley) of
Seattle, WA, grandchildren - Travis, Brandon (deceased), Skyler, Bryan, Drew, Maddie, Allie, Kaleigh and Kendra, great grandchildren Jaedyn and Penelope, brother - Steven and (Sharon) Northway of Deer Park and their
children Stevie, Tommie (deceased), Kathy and Michael and numerous
other family and friends. A life-long resident of Spokane, she attended Rogers High School. Carol worked as a full- time mother and homemaker. When her children were young she volunteered in the schools and worked in the PTA. Carol was a friend to many of the children that lived in their south hill neighborhood, where she and Connie lived for over 50 years. There was always an invite for dinner or a place to stay over for the night, which endeared her to many kids that grew up in the area. Along the way she and Connie took in several young people that needed a home.
Carol and Connie met many of their lifetime friends through square
dancing in clubs such as the "Swap and Swing" and "KD Squares."She loved to travel and be on the go, while planning her next adventure. Carol and Connie traveled throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. She loved to camp at many of the area lakes with family and friends, when they were not at the family cabin at Sacheen Lake. She was a long-time member of the Liberty Park United Methodist Church. After Connie retired, they loved to travel to Yuma, AZ for the winter months, where it was warmer and full of new experiences. Many of their lifetime friends stayed in the same RV Park, where they met new friends like the "Canadians."
Carol lived each and every day of her life to the fullest with boundless
energy. She was called away for her next great adventure. We all loved her and we will miss her. Memorial services will be held at the Heritage Funeral Home, 508 N. Government Way, Spokane, WA on Monday, June 15 at 2:00 p.m.
