Georgia Brown, 93, 'had a lot of spirit'
"Fat and sassy" -- that's how Georgia Brown would respond when people asked her how she was doing, but her daughter-in-law said she was neither fat nor sassy.
"It's funny that she would say that to people because she was neither, " daughter-in-law Jeannie Brown of Walton said.
In fact, Brown said her mother-in-law only weighed about 85 pounds most of her life. "But, she had a lot of power and spirit and wanted to stay on the go, " she said.

Every Christmas, her mother-in-law would hand-make ornaments and give them to the Sunday school children. Just as important to her was her son, Wendell Brown III, her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
