End?! No, the journey doesnt end here. Death is just another path... JRR Tolkien.

My name is Carole Elaine (Monasmith) Brown. I was born September 8, 1946 in Salina Kansas. I died June 22, 2025 in Benton City, Washington. MY ROOTS ARE IN KANSAS. HEART IS IN WASHINGTON. I loved music, penguins, TAZmanian Devil, snowmen, snowflakes, casinos, native culture, purple and my family & friends. I was a Woodmen member. I was on many bowling leagues in Kansas, i was a den mom for many years, also a Neighborhood Block Watch Mom. I attended and graduated from Columbia Burbank. I worked 36 years as a subcontractor at the Benton County Justice Center with my husband, Bob. We made many friends while working there from 1985 until I was forced to retire. Cancer sucks!
