Mary Vee Brown (née Horner), born December 23, 1945, died September 22, 2025. She passed from this life surrounded by love, with her daughter, Michelle, Granddaughter, Andrea, Logan and great grandson, Alan at her side.
Mary grew up on a farm in Kansas. She had a pet chicken named Fluffy, pet horse named Trigger, and countless other pets, all of whom she loved. A highlight in her life was an opportunity to pet a llama!
Mary was wed to her husband, Merv, who died in January of 2025. They shared a home in Payson, Arizona.
After an unfortunate fall, resulting in a broken arm, she came to Utah to live with her daughter and family in Midvale.
As she was settling in and recovering she expressed a desire to go to Gardner Village to pet the farm animals, regretfully this didn’t happen. After having surgery on September 19, 2025, she succumbed to a massive stroke.
She was full of spunk and told great jokes. She will always be loved and missed.
