ANNIE BROWN
Annie Brown (nee Kornelson) died June 12. She was born Oct. 27, 1916 in New Samara, Russia. When she was 8, her family immigrated to Canada, settling in Brotherfield, Sask. and then moving to Agassiz, B.C. via boxcar. Annie achieved a grade 5 education and then went to work. In her later teenage years, Annie worked as a domestic in Vancouver. At 19, she married Henry Brown, an older bachelor. They spent their first years on Sumas Prairie, where Henry was a dairy milker, and then moved to Clearbrook and finally Matsqui (now Abbotsford). After the children were grown, Annie learned to drive and gained employment as a homemaker. In retirement, Annie enjoyed gardening, cooking, and quilting. Predeceased by Henry, her husband of 66 years in 2002; sons Ben and Ernie; she is mourned by children Arnold (Bernice), Martha, Walter (Irene), Herb (Dorie), John (Evelyn), David, and Caroline (Hermann) Matis; daughter- in-law Marilee (Ron) Yorke; 26 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; 1 sister. The memorial service was June 18 at Clearbrook MB Church, Abbotsford, B.C.
