Wanda Fern was born in Cisco, Texas, to the late George W. and Annie Burnette. She and her husband, George Allen Brown, Jr. met in their senior year of high school and married that summer on July 30, 1944. After George served a stint in the U.S. Navy during World War II, they settled down in Cisco to raise a family. They moved many times due to George's work with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. In the early 1970s, they decided to build a retirement home near Lake Whitney where they resided from 1972 through 1992, when George passed away. Afterwards, Fern continued to live in Whitney for the next 15 years until selling her home and moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Fern had a stroke in August, 2010, and due to injuries from the stroke, had been confined to the Senior Care Center in Decatur, until she passed away. During the last 35 years or so, Fern was member at First Baptist Church in Whitney.
She was preceded in death by her husband, George Allen Brown, Jr.; sister, Betty Jo Hiett; and her brother, George W. "Pete" Burnette.
Survivors include her sons, Bobby Brown and his wife, Carol, of Arlington, and Gregg Brown and his wife, Skipper, of Krum; grandchildren: Lisa Noble, of Keller, Danny Brown, of Cincinnati, Ohio, Rebecca Sepulveda, of Arlington, Matthew Brown, of Arlington, Kristi Crisp, of Hurst, and Aaron Brown, of Krum; and seven great-grandchildren.
