Barbara Cammuse Brown of Winter Haven died July 7, 2013. She was born in Nashville, Tn. on August 14, 1933. Her maiden name was Cammuse and she comes from a long lineage in the middle Tennessee region.

She loved cooking, sewing, and painting and was outstanding with each. She was especially proud of earning a bachelor's degree, summa cum laude, in the liberal arts while she was retired.

She had a high spirit and indomitable will. She will be sorely missed.
