Janice Jessie (Morrow) Brown

January 3, 1938 ~ June 17, 2020 (age 82)

Janice Jessie Brown of the Loon Clan, age 82, of Remer, MN began her spiritual journey on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 at the Serenity Living Home in Remer with her sister Leona by her side. She was born on January 3, 1938 in Federal Dam, the daughter of John and Lettie (White) Morrow.

Janice was one of many children taken out of the home and placed in an orphanage home in Duluth, MN where they taught her the Catholic religion. The also taught her how to clean up, do washing and ironing clothes. She always made sure that her sisters had clean clothes to wear. Later, Janice left to go to a place for older girls when she was fourteen years old. Janice was a loving sister who cared about her family. They were a close family, always caring for one another. She would cry when someone hurt the family. Janice was like a mother to her family. When she left, her sister was alone. The last words they told each other were "I love you."

The family that Janice joins again are her parents; John and Lettie, husband; Clinton Brown, daughters; Elizabeth Strong and Brenda Skinaway, sisters; , Eunice, Darlene and Carolyn, brothers: Hartly White, Arthur and LaVerne Morrow, uncles; Porkey, Tom, Dan Sr. and Simon White; aunt, Rachel Greene and others; a lot of nieces and nephews, too many cousins to mention.

Those she leaves behind to cherish her memory are brother; Jack Morrow, sisters; Barbara Shipley and Leona Shaugobay, grandchildren; Russell and Janice, great granddaughter; Dakota C. Marie Ver Meer.
