Obituary: Zoe Ann Wiley Brown

Zoe Ann Wiley Brown 1931 ~ 2005 Zoe Ann Wiley Brown - wonderful, loving, beautiful wife, mother, grandmother and friend passed away on September 14, 2005 due to complications brought on by Parkinsons. Zoe was born August 31, 1931 to Frank and Louella Wiley in Salt Lake City, UT. She was a graduate of South High and the University of Utah. Zoe worked in the legal industry for many years, including the U of U College of Law, the Utah State Bar and retired as the Executive Director of the Utah Bar Foundation. Zoe was an organist for Cottonwood Presbyterian Church for many years and played the piano at numerous public events. Zoe is survived by her caring husband Louis Brown, her proud children; Kari Karas, Cori Brown, Toby Brown and Dain (Michelle) Brown, as well as her exceptional grandchildren; Nate, Sean, Trevor, Kiera, Corbin, Alex and Sam. Also survived by two brothers, Frank (Stella) Wiley and Hugh (Joyce) Wiley, both of California. Zoe was a kind, caring person who left a trail of friends wherever she went. She was legendary for her loud laugh, especially after a couple of Highballs. She was well known for always eating half of whatever she ordered. She met her husband of 50+ years while skiing at Alta. She also greatly enjoyed waterskiing and spent many a day on Bear Lake. In mid-life she ran numerous 5 and 10K races and usually won her age class. Her last lessons in life for us were patience, love and grace. Thank you for sharing your life with us. A Celebration of Life Gathering will be held on Sunday, September 18, 2005 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Dain's home - 8813 South Renegade Road (2285 East). Instead of flowers, buy yourself a drink and raise your glass in her honor. A special thank you to the kind people of Care Source Hospice.
