BROWN (Hughes), Aileen Elizabeth

Passed away on July 22, 2021 after an 18-month journey with cancer, Aileen was 73 years old. She was the beloved wife of 48 years to her husband, John; and mother to her children, Linda (Darin), James (Sherri), and predeceased son Sean; and grandmother to Jordin and Ashlynn. She is also survived by her sisters, Brenda and Judy; and brothers, Gary and Jimmy; and a very large extended family on both the Hughes and Brown sides. Aileen was a dear friend to many others and strived to be a friend and welcome all into her home.

The family extends special thanks to the loving care she received from the Palliative Care and Oncology teams, Aberdeen Hospital and Victoria General and Marla Macdonald NP. Thanks also to Father Gary Macpherson for spiritual support. Funeral arrangements are in care of R.H. Porter Funeral Home, New Glasgow.
