Angela Marie (Marlo) Browne passed away peacefully on November 19, 2017 surrounded by her family. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family, friends, and the Kansas City Community to whom she dedicated so much of her life.

Angela was born in Kansas City, Missouri on January 14, 1945 to Paul and Constance Marlo. After attending Holy Rosary, she graduated from Bishop Hogan High School and the University of Missouri-Kansas City with a Bachelor's degree in Education. It was there that she met her lifelong sweetheart, Jon Browne. Angela and Jon married on August 3, 1968 at St. Elizabeth's Church in Kansas City, Missouri. After short stints teaching elementary school at Nativity of Mary in Independence and Hale Cook Elementary in Kansas City, Angela soon moved with Jon to Columbia, Missouri where he attended medical school at the University of Missouri. During that time, she continued her teaching career at Thomas Benton Elementary School. For the only time of her life, Angela then lived outside the state of Missouri while Jon completed his Residency in Houston, Texas. She continued to teach preschool and help support her young son (Ryan – whom they had welcomed while in Columbia) and husband. After Residency, Angela and Jon chose to return to Kansas City to settle and raise their family. The family soon grew by one as another son (Spencer) was born. Angela was always the fiercely proud mother of her two doting sons.

In recent years, the family of four grew exponentially as Ryan married Britteny and Spencer married Alexandra (Ali) who all reside in Dallas, Texas. "Queenie" (as she was aptly called) became the beaming grandmother of six adoring grandchildren – Paul Spencer, Alexander Jon, and Jon Joseph (of Spencer and Ali) and Marlo Marylin, Victoria Carol, and Britten Edmund (of Ryan and Britteny). They lit up her every day and she theirs – every one of them could not wait to visit, call or FaceTime with their Queenie.

Angela was preceded in death by her father, Paul Marlo, and her sister, Marylin Marlo. She is survived by her mother, Constance Migliazzo Marlo, and her aforementioned husband, children, and grandchildren. Angela also had a sister-in-law, two brothers-in-law and numerous nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, and cousins with whom she proudly shared and celebrated her Italian heritage and whom she dearly loved.

Known by so many simply as "Angela," her life was dedicated to her family and her community. Angela's community involvement was endless and she was a force to be reckoned with. A gift to the Kansas City Community, one of Angela's greatest passions and accomplishments was helping save and restore Union Station and create Science City. Angela was a Founder of the 500+ member Union Station-Science City Volunteer Council for ten years and Co-President eight of those years, until the opening of the newly restored Station in 1999. Angela was also a Member of the Union Station Kansas City Board of Trustees and served on the Executive Committee and various other committees for many years. She was deeply involved in the Bi-State Initiative to approve funding for the restoration and she campaigned throughout the community with many civic leaders. She was a Steering Committee Advisor for all of the numerous Union Station-Science City Volunteer Council Galas and Family Festivals attended by thousands of Kansas Citians from 1990-1999. She often publicly spoke to bring community awareness and support for the Union Station-Science City effort. She was the Steering Committee Advisor for all of the 1999 Union Station-Science City Opening Events and the Union Station New Years 2000 Celebrations. Angela was Overall Co-Chairman (along with her dear friend Georgia Lynch) of the 2013 Union Station Centennial Committee and events as well as she was Co-Chairman of the Jarvis Hunt Club. Angela's name is forever memorialized in bronze on the plaques in front of Union Station, which recognize her as one of the community leaders who helped save and restore Union Station and create Science City so that it can be experienced and shared by generations of Kansas Citians (and others) in the years to come.

Her other community involvements are too numerous to mention, but she was a long-time member of the Kansas City Museum docent group (Musettes) where she interacted with school children at the Museum and through a Museum "Travelers" education group in the Kansas City, Missouri schools. She further served on the Kansas City Museum Board of Directors. Angela was very active in her Parish of St. Ann in Prairie Village, Kansas, where she served on Committees and was Co-Chairman of their Circle 7 and later, Rockhurst High School (mothers and women's clubs), where her husband, children, and so many other family members attended. She also worked on numerous events for the University Academy. Her involvement was not only with the community at large, but also her community at home as she was President of the Homeowner's Association at Hallbrook Village to which she dedicated many years of intense and opinionated leadership and service.

An avid and competitive tennis player, she was a long-time member of The Carriage Club and was an integral part of the management of the club for many years. Later in life, Angela developed a tremendous passion for golf. Angela and Jon joined Hallbrook Country Club in Leawood, Kansas and Mirabel Country Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, which helped foster and further that passion. Her love of golf coincided with her love of travel and friends as her and Jon traveled the country to visit with friends and play a few rounds. With or without golf, Angela and Jon loved to travel, especially to her family's native Italy, and she had friends throughout the country and world.

Like many Italians, Angela had a joy of cooking (passed down from her grandmother and mother) and was a gourmet cook. From stuffed shells to french-fried lobster tails, a dinner at Angela and Jon's house was always a treat. And, as anyone who had her cannoli would tell you, you had not lived if you did not have one of Angela's cannolis.

If style is your thing, Angela was also always someone to admire. She was always in line with the latest fashions and trends and did not meet many stores which she felt did not at least deserve a visit. Her eye for style led her to spending many years as a clothing consultant for Carlisle of New York through which she helped her friends and clients with their wardrobe.

A day spent playing tennis and golf, showing clothes or shopping, visiting with grandkids, volunteering, cooking, and a brisk, late-night walk with Jon was a normal one.

The family would like to specially recognize and express their heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all the wonderful and compassionate healthcare providers who treated and cared for Angela over the last several years. These include, but are not limited to, John Helzberg, M.D., Vincent Lem, M.D., Anthony Magalski, M.D., Michael Borkon, M.D., Carl Vincent Migliazzo, M.D., John Borsa, M.D., and, especially, Rakesh Gaur, M.D. who all provided personal, world-class, and uncommon care to her. Additionally, there are no words to properly thank her friend and confidant, Janice Setter, for her undying efforts, love, and support for both Angela and the family.

The family will greet friends at St. Ann Catholic Church at 7231 Mission Road, Prairie Village, Kansas 66208 on Friday, November 24, 2017 for a visitation and Rosary starting at 5:00 p.m. Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, November 25, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. at the same location with burial to follow at Calvary Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Union Station Kansas City and Science City or the Saint Luke's Foundation.

Angela dearly loved her family and friends, and dedicated her life in service to her faith, family, friends, and the Kansas City Community – her profound loss will be shared and felt by all.
