Margaret M. Brown (Peggy), 88, of Scottsdale, passed away unexpectedly February 23, 2010. Born September 14, 1921 in South Orange, New Jersey, Peggy and her husband Roy retired to Arizona 20 years ago from her home state. He preceded her in death in 2002. Margaret was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and very active in the community where she resided. She will be greatly missed by her eight children and their spouses, Drew and Laurie Brown (Paradise Valley), Christine and Jeffrey Gentes (Seattle), Paul and Jean Brown (Sacramento, CA), Greg and Kathleen Brown (Vancouver,WA) Mark and Tracy Brown (Atlanta, GA), Susan and Michael Dean (Bellevue, WA), Jane and Jay Reusch (Denver, CO) and Jeff and Michele Brown (Worthington, OH). She was especially loved by her twenty grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She is also survived by her dear sister Maureen Quinn (Jack) of Spring Lake, New Jersey. Family was everything to Peggy Brown. She lived to see her children and grandchildren and cherished their adventures and challenges as if they were her own. Her deep and unwavering faith in God and family were truly the pillars of her life. No one met Peggy Brown who didn't love her. Her beauty shone from deep within; a selfless and gentle soul who resided in a world of optimism, peace and non judgmental appreciation for life. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her for she truly inspired them to be better men and women of faith and love. Family and friends are invited to a Memorial Mass at 10:00 am Saturday, February 27th at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 7655 E. Main Street, Scottsdale. Margaret will be laid to rest alongside her husband Roy at St. Francis Cemetery, Phoenix, AZ.

Peggy was a cherished member of Chapter Dw, P.E.O. Sisterhood, while living in Sun Lakes, AZ. She and Roy entertained us in their home and are both greatly missed.
