William Denis Brown III
William D "Billy" Brown died peacefully Tuesday afternoon, March 6, 2012, at his home. Close by was Eleanor, his loving wife of 58 years, and his dedicated caregivers, Nicole Hoston and Willie Mae Standifer. His progressive illness had gradually restricted his life to a colorless world no bigger than his house. Before that, however, he had been, by all accounts, a free-wheeling force to be reckoned with.
The funeral services were held at Grace Episcopal, the church to which he was devoted, on Friday morning, March 9, at 10:30 a.m., proceeded by a reception at Kilbourne Hall beginning at 9 a.m. Billy will be interred in a private ceremony at Cuba Farm the place he loved dearest near his beloved dogs.
William Denis Brown III is survived by his wife Eleanor, Denis and Kathryn Brown and their children Harriett and Wyly of Salt Lake City, Utah; David and Priscilla O'Quinn and their children, Eleanor and Maisie, of New Orleans; Harris and Kristin Brown of Monroe. Though predeceased by his sister Martha, his younger brothers, Grady (Bubber) and Phillip continued to prosper and husband their family's farm for the fifth generation.
