Alice H. Brown
Age 92, of Dayton, passed away Wednesday, December 14, 2011, at the Maria-Joseph Center.
Alice was born February 26, 1919 in Greene County, Ohio to John William & Myrtle (Cleary) Denney. In addition to her parents, Alice was preceded in death by two brothers, Martin & Howard Denney; and by one sister, Margaret Britton.
Alice is survived by two children, Donna L. McKinney and Thomas L. Brown and fiancé Cindy Koznarski and son Kyle; nine grandchildren and great grandchildren, Daniel, Samantha, Neil, Lesa and husband Eric Schwark, Brandi, Cassie, Joshua, Micah, Sara and husband Clint See and son Tyler. Niece Pat Frazier, children Erin, Katie, Patrick, and husband John, Nephews John Denney, Jimmy Wilson & wife Shelia, Larry Fischer and wife Pam, "adopted" children Don & Linda Ammon, Manual & Agnes Higgins, and "adopted" grandchildren Josh Whitaker and Nolan Foreman.
Alice was a lifelong member of the Church of the Nazarene and served her Lord in various Sunday school teacher, church board, and youth program capacities. Her Christian love for caring and giving for others was evident throughout her efforts.
Alice was a very dedicated and highly respected employee. During World War II, she was employed as a Security supervisor by N.C.R with responsibility for protecting the Norton Bomb Site project. After the war, she worked at Davies Young Soap factory and Trojan Freight lines from which she retired. Alice soon became bored with retirement and went to work for the Dayton Senior Citizen Center responsible for the four "Meals on Wheels" Outreach centers. After seven years, Alice retired again, and moved to Florida to be with her sister Margaret. Something about retirement didn't quite suit Alice. She returned to Dayton and went back to work again for the second time at the Dayton Senior Citizen Center finally retiring for the third time in the early "90's. Throughout her years, Alice had been a talented seamstress so she decided to start a fulltime seamstress business at her senior apartment complex where she happily did alterations for her many residents and friends at the complex. Everyone there knew "Alice" and she always left her door open for her customers. Many would just drop in to for conversation, to share their problems, or get Grandma Brown's free advice on life.
Alice truly lived a Christian life, one devoted to God and family, and always focusing on how she could help others. She was never concerned about her own welfare knowing that the Lord would always provide. She instilled her hard work ethic, and her unwillingness to never give up no matter how hard things became, in her children, loving family, and her many friends and acquaintances. She will be truly missed by all who knew her.
