She was a Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond retiree, Mrs. Brown warmly loved by everyone she met, and everyone who met her developed an instant and everlasting love for her. With a warm smile, a gentle manner and a quick kiss on your cheek, Mrs. Brown never had an enemy and affectionally called everyone "baby." With a very tender heart, she was just so sweet to everyone - and also had a love for dogs. They just don't make ‘em like "Aunt Shoot" anymore.
