Whereas, she was educated at South Carolina State University, graduating in 1941. Marriage in 1946 brought her and her husband, Freddie Perry (now deceased), a fine family of three children, Bruce, Nicholas, and Deidra, who have given their parents the joy of eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; and

She wed Charlie O’Garro in 1970 and resided in Mexico for two years before returning to her native State. After Mr. O’Garro’s passing, she was married to James Brown, an old school friend, until his death in 2005; and

Whereas, Mrs. Brown, who still loves life, enjoys going on cruises and traveling to visit friends; and
