She was born in Grant County, Indiana, on Thursday, January 31, 1929, and will be laid to rest at Gardens of Memory next to her husband, Harry \"Dick\" Grant Brown, Jr., with whom she shared 49 wonderful years of marriage.\r\n\r\nMargaret and Dick built their home on Bocock Road in 1950, where they lovingly raised their family. She was a devoted wife mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend, sister, and mother-in-law. They raised four children, Richard G. (Sharon) Brown (both deceased), Peggy Brown Swan (Tom, deceased), Debra Brown Armstrong-Ramler (Tim, deceased), and Di Brown Finnegan (Frank, deceased). Margaret was a loving and cherished grandmother to Richard L. Brown, Jay Brown (Angie), Brian Brown (Maria), Scott Brown, James Brown, Teresa Swan, Thomas Swan, Tracy Swan, Lilly Armstrong Fields, Paul Armstrong (Sarah), Asa Armstrong, Frank Finnegan, Jr., and Flora Finnegan Sanchez (Adrian); and a proud great-grandmother to 14 great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews. Margaret was the sister of Bob (Becky) Hix (both deceased), Gene Hix (Jondajane, deceased), and Jeannette (Charlie) Douglas (both deceased).\r\n\r\nMargaret was a lifelong, active member of Hanfield United Methodist Church and was devoted to her faith and community. She was also a member of the United Methodist Women's Group, who contributed to various charities through baking and by collecting donations. She supported the missionaries overseas and was a champion for the Humane Society. She was also an excellent seamstress for her family and community.\r\n\r\nMargaret loved hosting cookouts and Sunday dinners for friends and family in her home. She also loved the simple pleasures of life, such as enjoying the weather on her back porch swing and taking walks with her husband and family. \u00a0She and Dick were avid gardeners of flowers and vegetables, and she took pride in canning their harvest for the winter.\r\n\r\nMargaret's legacy of love, faith, and community service will be remembered and cherished by all who knew her. \u00a0She will be deeply missed.\r\n\r\nThe family will receive visitors from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at Needham-Storey-Wampner Funeral &amp; Cremation Service, North Chapel, 1341 N. Baldwin Ave., Marion, IN.\r\n\r\nImmediately following the time of visitation, a service to celebrate Margaret's life will begin at 1:00 pm with Pastor Curtis Banker officiating. \u00a0Burial will take place at Gardens of Memory in Marion.\r\n\r\nMemorial contributions may be directed to Marion-Grant County Humane Society, P.O. Box 1921, Marion, IN 46952.\r\n\r\nMemories may be shared online at www.nswcares.com.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div class=\"obituary-description__store\">To send flowers to the family of Margaret M.
