Elizabeth "Betty" Brown's Obituary
Elizabeth Mae (Dreese) Brown passed away Wednesday, July 20, 2022, at her home.
She was a devoted wife, mother, sister, and friend. She loved making sugar cookies with her son, Adam, for every holiday. At Christmas, Betty and her very dear friend, Lisa Joslyn and her daughters Rylie and Nora made chocolate peanut butter balls. They had done that since 2006 and never missed a Christmas.
Betty worked at the Pizza and Sub Shop for 32 years before being forced into retirement because of the cancer. She called her job her second home and second family. She enjoyed chatting with each and every person that came in the door.
