GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR
VIRGINIA BROWN
Meet the May 2019 Resident of the Month, Virginia
Brown. Virginia was born on January 19, 1925 in
Wamac, Illinois. She was number 8 of 9 children born
to Albert and Edith Bronson, 8 girls and 1 boy. Her dad
was a carpenter in the coal mines and her mom was an
awesome homemaker. Of the nine children, two live
in Spring Arbor and on lives in Arkansas. Virginia’s
sister Ella is 92 and recently moved here to SAAL and
her other sister Viola will be 99 in May. Virginia
graduated early because she was able to pass from
kindergarten to the second grade. After graduation,
Virginia worked for two years in the office at a candy
factory. Two days a week, the workers received a
yummy and warm candy bar. Some of those candy
bars are still made today. She then moved to Hillsdale,
Michigan, where she started painting for Munn Art
Studio. She was an excellent artist, working nearly 40
years for this small company that sent scene-o-felts to
missionaries and pastors all over the world, teaching
the love of God. She and several other ladies worked
there, living together in what was called the “Bee
Hive”. Their pastor, Verdon Dunckel, had named it
that, saying that there were “Honeys” living there. On
April 4, 1946, Don Brown captured one of the bees and
they were married. Don was a letter carrier for over 30
years, known as “the whistler”. They became life-long
members of the Free Methodist Church in Hillsdale.
Don and Virginia had three children, Keith, Karen and MAY Featured Resident of the
Kathy, who all live in Michigan. They did have one Month
more special “child”, Kandi,who “dogged” her way into Virginia Brown
their lives. Don and Virginia were married 68 years.
They enjoyed traveling to most of the states, including
a trip to Hawaii for their 25th anniversary. They also
enjoyed several winters in Florida. Virginia has
looked forward to her sister Ella’s move to Spring
Arbor Assisted Living. Now that she is here, watch out,
these two ladies will be taking laps around the
building.
