Mary Brown
Memorial service for Mary Maureen Ludgate Brown, 83, of Keene will be conducted at 1:00 P.M. Sunday, Feb. 19, 2012 in the Keene Seventh-day Adventist Youth Chapel. Pastor Phil Robertson will officiate.
Mary Maureene Ludgate was born to mother Alice Audrey and father Timms Kenneth Ludgate, on October 27, 1928 in Suret India. Six years later her brother Donald Roy Ludgate joined the family. The Ludgate family lived in Indian until she was 12 years old. Her parents being missionaries traveled within the US, until her late teens when they settled in Chattanooga TN in which she attended Academy.
At the age of 18 she traveled to Cape Town South Africa, attending Hildiburg College and then back to the states to attend nursing school in Tacoma Park Maryland, at Washington Missionary College now named Washington Adventist University. After graduating she met the love of her life F. Kenneth Brown on a blind date. Two months of writing letters and dating, Kenneth asked her to marry him, in which she said yes! Shortly thereafter they tied the knot on July 3, 1954 in San Antonio, TX. The first child born to this union was Steven Kenneth Brown, followed by Michael Ronald Brown three years later. Mary and Ken both wanting to add a baby girl to this family searched for a child to adopt. In December, 1961 they received a call that there was a beautiful baby available to adopt. Mary and Ken brought home Lisa Joan Jynell the daughter of their heart. They moved to Loma Linda and Mary worked at the Loma Linda Hospital, until they moved to Ardmore Ok, in which Mary was Nursing Director of Ardmore Adventist Hospital. Keene, TX was the next move for the Brown family, in which Mary worked as a Nurse at the Dallas Veteran's Hospital. Spending 10 years in Southern California and then Retiring in 1993, in Mouser, Oregon.
Mary had been blessed with several grandchildren over the years: Jermaine Brown and wife Melanie; Noah Brown; Melvin D. Clark; Lace Clark; Aubrey McQue and husband, John and daughter Samantha; Aaron Brown and Alex Brown and great and nieces and nephews and their children: Julia Hanson and husband, Dan and daughter Stevie; Jeannie Norris and husband Allen and their three children Allison, Eric and Reagan; Jerry Don Ludgate and wife Kathy and their two children Ashley and Amanda; Heidi Lee Sturner; Robert E.
