Dorothy Yvonne Brown, 79, passed away Friday, February 3, 2012, in the
Robert Lee Care Center, Robert Lee, Texas. Visitation was held all day 
Tuesday, February 7, 2012, at the funeral home. A funeral service was held 
at 10 am Wednesday, February 8, 2012, at Robert Lee Baptist Church. Burial 
followed in Robert Lee Cemetery. Services were under the direction of Shaffer 
Funeral Home.

She is survived by her sister Jo Dell of Orange County, California; her daughter
Frances O'Reilly of Royse City, Texas; three grandchildren, Erin O'Reilly of 
Robert Lee, Texas; Brian and Austin O'Reilly of Royse City, Texas; and six 
great-grandchildren.

Dot was the first child born to Ronald and Una Walton on February 11, 1932, in 
Bronte, Texas. On September 16, 1949, she married Frank P. (Pritch) Brown. He 
preceded her in death in June of 2006. They lived in Silver, Texas, for a brief 
period then moved close to McAllen, Texas, when Pritch was 
transfered by Sun Oil Co. In 1959, Pritch was transfered to Oklahoma. In 1981, 
when Dot's parents had to be put into the nursing home, they moved back to
Robert Lee.
 
While they were in Oklahoma, Dot was a volunteer Sunday school teacher, an 
avid couples bridge player, and a district manager for Braum's Ice Cream Stores. 
When she and Pritch moved back to Robert Lee, she volunteered at the nursing 
home. Pritch and Dot loved to go camping. They had been to every state in the 
union except Hawaii. They also traveled to Canada, Mexico, and even a 
few European destinations while their daughter was in the Army stationed in 
Germany.

Dot was a wonderful person with a lot to give to those around her. A loving 
wife, mother, and grandmother she will be truly missed.
