GERALDINE'S OBITUARY
Geraldine Pebley Brown, 87, of Clinton, Tennessee, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on April 24, 2021. Geraldine, known as "Gerri" and "Doodle" to those close to her, was born on March 24, 1934 in Clinton to Clyde and Ruth Pebley. She was one of five children. She attended Clinton City Schools and graduated from Clinton High School in 1952. As a young adult she married and moved to Lake City and had a son, David.
Gerri's first job, at 19 years old, was a secretary at Magnet Mills in Clinton. She then went on to work at C&C Bank in Oak Ridge as a bank teller. Lastly, she worked at Y-12 in Oak Ridge as a secretary until her retirement when she married William E. "Bill" Brown on April 14, 1978.
Gerri was a devoted wife, homemaker, mother, and grandmother. She and her granddaughter, Katie, whom she cared for before and after school for many years, enjoyed shopping, going out to eat, and simply spending time together. They shared a very special bond. Gerri was an avid reader of all genres, a murder-mystery and crime drama enthusiast, and a good cook.
Gerri was a member of Edgemoor Baptist Church in Claxton.
Gerri was preceded in death by her parents, infant sister Claudia, brother Sonny Pebley, sister Joyce Templin, granddaughter Amy Cox, son David Cox, stepdaughter Gina Brown Collins, and husband of 39 years, Bill Brown.
