Angeline Brown, a loving wife, mother, and cherished soul, died Sunday, June 16, in Grand Rapids. She was 77. 

Born on July 7, 1946, in Chicago, Angie brought humor and joy everywhere she went and she was a source of strength for friends and family in their times of need. Angie moved to Michigan in 1968 to be married to her husband Robert for 54 years, and she was an unending source of love and encouragement for her son John.

She worked as a secretary at Hopkins Public Schools for 20 years. She pursued a life rich in interests and hobbies, including reading, golfing and traveling.

Angie’s enjoyment in visiting her hometown of Chicago for its plays, art and music was surpassed only by her love of visiting her family who lived there. She found solace in her home and gardens as well as in her parish community and lifelong friendships at Sacred Heart Church, tending flowers and plants with the same care she gave her relationships.

Angie is survived by her son, John Robert Brown, and his wife, Claudia Berríos-Campos; siblings Sandra Ritter and Robert Weglarz with his wife Raylene Welch.

She was preceded in death by husband Robert Harry Brown and her parents, Frank and Olga (Huska) Weglarz.

There will be a memorial service at 11 a.m. Friday, June 28, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 2036, 20th St, Allegan, with an hour visitation beforehand. Inurnment will take place following mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery with luncheon to follow.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Cancer Society will be appreciated.
