Helen Brown (Tiffany)
October 13, 1925 — November 15, 2017
Helen Irene Brown, age 92 and a longtime resident of Warsaw, passed away quietly on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 at 6:35 pm in Miller’s Merry Manor, Warsaw.
Helen was born on October 13, 1925 in Duluth, Minnesota. She was the daughter of the late Claude James and Nelia Mae (Rehm) Tiffany. She would graduate from Westville High School with the class of 1944 and attended Valparaiso University for two years.
On April 4, 1946, Helen was united in marriage to William Stephen Brown in LaPorte, Indiana. They would share 58 years together prior to his passing on October 9, 2004.
Helen was a homemaker but had worked for Crystal Lake Egg Products for 15 years prior to her 1988 retirement.
She enjoyed crocheting and made many afghans, blankets and other projects - some of which she gave as gifts. She enjoyed many kinds of crafts and loved reading, appreciating many genres. She had also enjoyed flower gardening. A firm but loving person, her family was her focus; this included caring for seven young children while her husband worked nights. Helen had been involved in her neighborhood Home Ec club and was a lover of animals.
Those who survive include two sons: Mark (Sandi) Brown of Stillwater, MN and Matthew (Jean François Moisan) Brown of Puiseax En Bray, France; five daughters: Claudia Carson of Winona Lake, Elizabeth Brown of Lexington, KY, Sarah Flenar of Fort Recovery, OH, Kathryn Hughes of Warsaw and Margaret (Wayne) Kegley of Barbee Lake; 11 grandchildren; several great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren.
In addition to her husband, William, Helen was preceded in passing by her sister, Grace Tollerud and a great-grandchild.
The family will receive friends for a time of visitation on Monday, November 20th from 3 to 7 pm at Titus Funeral Home, 2000 East Sheridan Street, Warsaw. A funeral service which celebrates Helen’s life will be held at 11 am on Tuesday with Reverend Michael Barnes, St. Peter’s Lutheran Church officiating. Interment will follow in Cook Chapel Cemetery, Warsaw.
Memorial gifts may be directed to the Animal Welfare League, PO Box 1906 Warsaw, Indiana 46581-1906.
The staff of Titus Funeral Home considers it a great privilege to be trusted with the care of Helen I. Brown and her family.
