DENISON
By the grace of God’s redemptive work on the cross, our Heavenly Father called Mickey Anne Brown home to live with Him on Sunday, November 19, 2017.
Mickey Anne Brown was born October 23, 1949 in the Cherry Mound area of Grayson County. Mickey began working as an aide at Madonna Hospital in Denison at a young age. She graduated from Grayson College with a nursing degree, and in a few years was the OB-GYN coordinator at Memorial Hospital in Denison. In the late 1970’s, she became the coordinator of the Watson W. Wise Dialysis Center. Mickey chose to stop employment in 1980 to focus on loving her family and raising her children, but she was proud to maintain her nursing license throughout the remainder of her life. She enjoyed serving in the Lion’s Club and held the position of Secretary/Treasurer for several years. Over the last decade, Mickey enjoyed serving in the medical mission field to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those in need.

She traveled with Joyce Meyer Ministries.
