She was my mother. She was adopted by my grandparents, Donald Beauford Browning and his wife of over 50 years Ruth Glenn Dow Browning. She was only a day old when this happened. She went to school in Winter Haven, Florida as she graduated from Winter Haven High School home of the Blue Devils. She worked hard her entire life, from help running family business of selling furniture at our family owned stores, to opening up Walt Disney World before the grand opening, sales, theme parks, and retiring due to sickness from Haines City Truck Stop where she was manager and ran the entire front counter. She will always be remembered as my mother and a hard and devoted employee thru sickness and hardships. Oh and she had a very green thumb and could grow anything. Her favorite was colias. She was always very lucky she paid all her bills with scratch off lottery tickets that she had won on. I miss her!!!
