MURIEL J. BROWN
BETHLEHEM, NH -- Muriel J. Brown, 82 of Agassiz Street, passed away on Saturday, June 16th at the Littleton Regional Hospital. She was the third child of William and Mildred Jobin and was born at Littleton Hospital on June 5th 1925.
Having been brought up in Bethlehem and residing there for most of her 82 years, she could always be counted on to come up with a name or recall a memory. Her community was important to her, and to that community she gave much time and talent. Her services included being a Cub Scout and Girl Scout leader, a member of Star Rebekah Lodge #84, a member of the Womens Society of Christian Service at Durrell Methodist Church, the Bethlehem Ski Club, PTA, Bethlehem Heritage Society, Bethlehem Redevelopment Association, Bethlehem Womens Civic Club and the Bethlehem Alumni Association. After retirement, she became a LRH volunteer in the Medical Library.
Outside of her immediate family her two greatest passions were the church and the library. She spent countless hours making sure the church fulfilled its mission of being a house pure in heart with open arms and a helping hand for all. Muriel was the town librarian for 33 years, retiring at the age of 79. She always made sure the library had the newest books on the shelves and every nook and cranny had something of interest on it. She often delivered books to those who could not come to the library and looked forward to the return of the summer visitors.
Her family was her pride and joy. She celebrated their accomplishments with joy and was proud of their individual personalities and talents. That family includes her loving husband of 63 years, Floyd Brown, Floyd and Muriels children, Bruce and wife, Clare; Alan and wife, Sheri; Curtis and wife, Deborah and daughter, Melody and husband Jack Nute; a sister, Anita Lopez of Reno, Nevada; a brother, Arthur Jobin of Yerrington, Nevada. She is also survived by grandchildren, Karen and husband, Michael Abraham; Derek and wife, Tandy Brown, Ashlea and Taylor Brown, Peter, Sarah and Molly Nute; great-grandchildren Brayden, Calyn and Logan Brown, and Emma and Grace Abraham along with numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by brothers, William R. Jobin and Willard Jobin and a sister, Dorothea Adams.
Muriels life touched many people in different ways. Whether you were lucky enough to listen to her read a story, comfort you with her gentle hands, work with her at a rummage sale, or receive a favorite pie or silly prank, you felt her loving spirit. In lieu of flowers, one may contribute to Durrell Memorial United Methodist Church, Bethlehem Public Library, North Country Home Health and Hospice Agency or Pastoral Care at Littleton Hospital.
SERVICES -- A Memorial Service will be held on Thursday June 21st at 11:00 a.m. at the Durrell United Methodist Church in Bethlehem with Rev. Richard Hanson officiating.
Arrangements and care have been entrusted to the Pillsbury Funeral Homes and Cremation Service, Inc. To view an online memorial or to send a message of condolence, please visit www.pillsburyfh.com.
