Barbara H. Brown's Obituary
Barbara H. Brown, 89, died peacefully at home on Friday, February 19, 2016. A small town farm girl from Argenta, Illinois, Barbara lived happily in Tucson for the last 60 years. She enjoyed teaching sixth grade in TUSD for 36 years and making a difference in the lives of hundreds of students. Barbara was spunky, had a fantastic sense of humor, and was always up for an adventure with the Bridge Ladies. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren, working all the puzzles in the newspaper, and watching the British programs on channel 6. A firm believer in supporting the local race track, she rented her table at Rillito Race Track for the last 20 years and thoroughly enjoyed programming the horses, betting, and watching them run! We loved her dearly and will miss her always. She is preceded in death by her husband, Don and is survived by her son, Eric; daughter, Linda (Brad) Argue; grandchildren, Tyler and Kailey Argue and Jayme Brown; and nephew, John Oliver. The family would like to express sincere gratitude to the amazing staff of Casa de la Luz Hospice for their superior care and support. At her request there will be no service, but a Celebration of Barb and Don’s Lives will occur on Saturday, March 5, 2:00pm at the Brown residence.
