Norma La Rue Brown
1924 ~ 2015
On January 6, 2015, Norma LaRue Bowen Brown rejoined her eternal companion Clyde Leslie Brown. One can only imagine what a joyful reunion that must have been.
Norma was born on October 16, 1924, to kind and loving parents of Walter and Ester Bowen in Samaria, Idaho. She was the youngest of 12 children. She graduated from American Fork High school in 1942. She was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She married her eternal companion December 21, 1946, Clyde Leslie Brown which was solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. They raised their six children in Richland, Washington.
She served faithfully in various capacities and callings in the LDS Church including many years as a worker in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. Les and Norma served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Guam Micronesia Mission (1998-1999). Norma was warm and friendly to all she met. She had a wonderful perspective of life and a great sense of humor. She loved to dance and participated in many dance festivals. When Norma passed away BYU lost their number one sports fan. She will be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her children Les (Sherrie), Craig (Nancy), Sherrie (Jerry) Kite, Steve (Jane), Tami Strong, and Todd (Tracy); 29 grandchildren, 46 great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.
