Hattie made her profession of faith in Jesus as a young woman at a revival at Hill Church in Dexter. She was a little disappointed when she was told she had to wait until spring to be baptized.

Hattie married Vador Brown in 1933; they began their 54 years together in Dexter; then traveled around before settling down in southern Idaho where they stayed until moving to the Ozarks in 1975. Family gatherings and fishing and camping trips with family were a source of special memories of these years.

In Hattie’s later years, she lived in an assisted living facility in Marshfield, MO, visits from her great-great grandchildren were the highlight of these days.  Her final days were spent at Hartville Care Center where she charmed many residents and care givers and will be missed.
