Dorothy was born in Sherman, Tx to JD and Thelma Hullett on September 16, 1930. She went to school in Sherman, followed by a year at Austin College. She married Marshall (Buddy) Brown on March 24, 1954, in Sherman, where they stayed and raised their four children. In her earlier years she worked for Hagen Pontiac as a bookkeeper. After the death of her husband in 1974, she continued the business he started, Bud’s Sporting Goods, until it closed in 2021. Dorothy loved going to the Sonic, driving around Hagerman’s Refuge, sitting on her front porch watching the birds and enjoying the beautiful flowers in her flowerbed. She was a Christian and loved the Lord. This was demonstrated through the life she led. She loved everyone (especially children) and never met a stranger. She had a servant’s heart and throughout her years she was involved in numerous duties at Parkview, from Sunday school teacher to getting the communion ready for Sunday services (and other duties that only her and the Lord knew about). Dorothy is preceded in death by her parents, husband, her brother Bobby Hullett and his wife Irene, in-laws N.L. Trice, Norman Hawkins, Jodie and Jean Grigg, Judy Raines and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Dorothy is survived by her sisters, Janice Hawkins of Sherman and Linda Trice of Bentonville, AR; daughters, Denise Brown Mohling, Princess (Penny) Brown, Cheryl Brown Martin (and husband John), Bobbie Brown

Bozeman (and husband Gary). She has seven grandchildren Tiffany Reynolds, John Dudley, Jason Dudley, Angela McNeil, Jerry Smith, Danielle Mohling, and Stephanie Cotton. She also has eight great- grandchildren, Konnor, Keenan and Keeley McNeil, Max and Hudson Dudley and Emerson and Colt Dudley, Sawyer Cotton, plus numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
