BROWN, brother-in-law Tom

nephews Tom
BROWN and Wayne
PLOMP.
Growing up during the depression
after losing her father to influenza she learned from her mother
how to make meals with limited ingredients and unlimited imagination.
She knew how to prepare various dishes from local wildlife when
food was scarce. Her baking was done with a “pinch of this, a
bit of that” and a “you can tell from the feel when it's ready.&rdquo
Her favourite beverage was fresh brewed tea with a “blip of milk”.
She would talk about growing up in the area with pleasure and
a sparkle in her eye. Backing up the old 10th Street West hill
in a Model T Ford, or bundling up and going out to Shallow Lake
to visit her uncles in the horse drawn sleigh were some of her
stories. Her joy as a child was going to Sauble River and spending
time fishing and swimming. After high school she attended the
Northern School of Business. She learned important skills of
the day which included dictation, typing, filing and accounting.
She met and married Lou in early 1944 and traveled with him to
Truro, Nova Scotia while he was stationed at Camp Debert and
while he was in England. After the war ended and Lou was discharged
from the forces they returned to Owen Sound to raise their family.
She worked for several downtown businesses setting up bookkeeping
and accounting systems. Kay worked for the Owen Sound Parks Board
and took the job as office manager when the Owen Sound Health
Unit was formed in 1963 and stayed until her retirement in 1984.
She was a member of the Roselawn Lawn Bowling Club for many years
and enjoyed traveling. She volunteered with Red Cross Blood Donation
program for many years and was also a member of the Owen Sound
Legion Ladies Auxiliary. Coming from pioneering stock she was
a pioneer herself. She kept the family finances in order, worked
a full time job and ensured that her kids were taken care of.
Friends may call at the Breckenridge-Ashcroft Funeral Home on
Sunday February 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. A funeral service will be
held at the funeral home on Monday morning at 11 a.m. Doctor Brad
CLARK officiating. Interment in Greenwood Cemetery. As an expression
of sympathy, memorial donations to the Branch #6 Legion Ladies
Auxiliary, Grey Bruce Regional Health Centre Foundation, or The
Legion Poppy Fund would be appreciated by the family.
