Elizabeth Bledsoe Brown, 94, passed away peacefully, Wednesday morning, April 14, 2010.
She was born on June 10, 1915, at home on 5th Street in Port Arthur to Dr. Murff Bledsoe and Ella Jackson Bledsoe.
The family later moved to the Gates House on Lakeshore Drive where she grew up. She was a 1933 graduate of Port Arthur High School. She received an AA degree from Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri and attended the University of Texas and Louisiana State University.
In 1938 she married Bernard P. Brown of Burleson and together they raised two children. She was a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority, the Service League of Port Arthur, the Wesley Class at the United Methodist Temple, the Tejas Garden Club and sat on the Port Arthur Historical Society Board.
Elizabeth loved deeply, forgave easily, and always thought the best of others. Her primary interest was people, especially her family and extended family, but she had a great affection for her friends, acquaintances, and even strangers that she met along the way. She knew and remembered most every detail about everyone she ever met.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Bernard P. Brown; her daughter, Beth Brown Kost; her siblings, Murff Bledsoe, Jr. and his wife, Ludell Bledsoe, sisters Buella Floy Bledsoe and Cile Bledsoe Motheral; her cousin Thomas Hicks Jones; and her niece, Julie Mills.
