"A chapel service for Myra Paulina Brown will be held on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, at 4:00 PM in the chapel of John Kramer \u0026amp; Son Funeral Home with Rev. Chad Partain officiating. Visitation will be held at the funeral home from 3:00 PM until the time of service. Myra Paulina Brown, 78, of Alexandria, passed away on Sunday, September 17, 2023, in her home. She is preceded in death by her father, Ollie Lee Williams; her mother, Mary VanAntwerpen Williams; and her sister, Mary-Louise Maddox. Myra was born on July 22, 1945. She graduated from Bolton High School in 1963. She and her husband ran J. M. Brown Plumbing, where she served as Secretary Treasurer for 35 years. Myra enjoyed avid membership in the Cenla Beagle Club. Her involvement with the club included her service as Treasurer and Field Trial Chairman for 20 years. Raising a family was Myra and her husband, Joseph's priority when they were not working at the plumbing business. She always made sure that, by the time you left her home, you were fed and even had leftovers to take home with you. She had a truly giving nature which inspired her to lovingly give, within her means, everyone what they needed. Myra loved to fish and she loved people. Her husband, Joseph, recalls times when Myra would spend hours on the phone, and he jokingly gives thanks for the fact that he was not a jealous husband. Sometimes, Myra would spend hours talking to whomever would bend their ear. She will be deeply missed by all who loved and cherished her. Those left to cherish her memory include her husband, Joseph M. Brown; two sons, Norman John Buthod, Jr. and his wife, Cindy; Robert Joseph Brown and his wife, Amy; one daughter, Tonya-Louise McKnight; one sister, Betty-Gail Atwell; two brothers, Lee Williams and James Williams; four grandchildren, Layne, Macy, Trayce and Rodney; and a multitude of other extended family members.
