Ambassador to New Zealand and Western Samoa under President Reagan. Mary 
Frances and her husband then retired to their cattle ranch in Wheatland in 
2002 to raise thoroughbreds and roses, where she resided at the time of her 
death. Mary Frances bore three children, Elizabeth Ann Denny, Richard Allen 
Browne, and David Ashby Browne. She is survived by her husband, Monroe; her
