Edna L. Brown, 93, of Hallettsville, died Aug. 18, 2008. She was born on Sept. 15, 1914 to Keenan & Mattie Price Crabb in Speaks, Texas. She married Lee Evans Brown on April 21, 1946 in Hallettsville. They moved to Pasadena, Texas where Lee worked for Goodyear Rubber Co. Edna was a homemaker for her 3 sons and baby daughter. She was also a member of the Richey Street Baptist Church in Pasadena.

Edna continued to live in Pasadena after Lee passed away in 1990. She wanted to be near her children and grandchildren. She was always a most caring mother and grandmother who always had an open heart and ear for the many problems her "brood" came to her with. Her advice was never wrong as hard as it was to hear sometimes. She truly loved her family and they were her whole world.

Edna loved to garden & grow flowers, especially pink roses. She had a great "green thumb", and could grow anything.

Edna is survived by: 2 sons, Douglas Brown and Winston Brown, both of Pasadena; daughter Linda Prince of South Houston; 10 grandchildren, Tammy, Terri, Karen, Deanna, Travis, Todd, Rhonda, Jeannie, Marshall, and Bryan; and 8 great-grandchildren.
