Betty Brown
February 6, 1945 — December 3, 2015
Betty Brown, of Kirwan Hall Farm, Eastville, Virginia died Thursday, December 3rd surrounded by her family. She was born in Manhattan, New York to Armistead Cyril Smith and M. Florence Smith on February 6th, 1945. She married September 28th, 1969 to Garrison Mack Brown of East Marion, New York. With her husband, Betty owned and operated Aquebogue Veterinary Hospital for over 20 years. There in Aquebogue, she realized a lifelong dream with the creation of Smallholdings Farm, a vegetable farm and 17 acre raw milk dairy, the last of its kind on Long Island at the time.
Throughout her working career and family life, she devoted endless volunteer hours to small business, conservation, and planning efforts on the North Fork of Long Island as President of the North Fork Environmental Council, Riverhead Garden Club, and Townscape Inc. She was appointed to the Governor's East End Economic Task Force, the Brown Tide Task Force, and served as Chairman of the Riverhead Conservation Advisory Council.
Betty and her husband retired to Kirwan Hall Farm in Eastville, Virginia in 1998 where she continued to enjoy gardening and raising animals. Her four children soon relocated to the area as well. Her love of all things old led to a fulfilling career in the buying and selling of antiques and vintage wares. Other endeavors included the ownership of the Peacock Motor Inn in Cape Charles, and Bloomers Garden Shop in Eastville. Though her interests were many, a vast majority of her time was spent with her five grandchildren. Betty was well known for her kindness, generosity, unique spirit and sense of humor.
Betty is survived by her husband, Garrison Mack Brown; four children, Daniel A. Brown, Garrison M. Brown II, Laureen Brown Klingel, and Sarah Elizabeth Drummond; daughter in law Lauren Brown, son in law Jeff Klingel; five grandchildren Alexander Brown, Molly Brown, Katherine Brown, Kailynn Drummond, and Halsey Brown Klingel. She is also survived by her brother Robert Smith of North Kingstown, Rhode Island, her nephew Ehren Smith and nieces Morgan and Emma Smith also of North Kingstown as well as her cousin Pamela Bluss of Linden, Virginia.
Funeral Services for Elizabeth Ann "Betty" Brown were held on Sunday, December 6th at St. Charles Catholic Church, Cape Charles, Virginia. She was interred at Cape Charles Cemetery. Memorials may be made to Northampton Historic Preservation Society, PO Box 501, Eastville, VA 23347 or to Citizens for a Better Eastern Shore, PO Box 882, Eastville, VA 23347.
