Published 4:50 pm Monday, August 19, 2024 By The Daily News In loving memory of Mary, “Boots,” Cahoon Brown, May 20, 1938 – August 11, 2024. It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Mary Cahoon Brown, but with joy knowing she is with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Boots loved her family and friends and prayed fervently for them daily.
She was a mighty prayer warrior and was apart of the intercessory prayer team at Brownsville Assembly of God in Pensacola, Florida. She loved this nation and prayed weekly with Intercessors for America. She was an avid gardener with the most amazing floral and vegetable display.
Every plant diligently arranged as if the Master designer had planted himself. Her artwork showcased beauty in creation and won awards at the Beaufort County NC Arts Council art contest. She created banners for the Presbyterian church and did calligraphy.
In high school she was an accomplished pianist and performed with the East Carolina University Symphony Orchestra. More than any earthly accomplishment she leaves behind a strong spiritual legacy in her children and grandchildren. She delighted in listening to her grandchildren perform and sing, watching them play sports, boogie boarding along with them in the waves, reading stories and telling of days gone by at Ocracoke, and seeing the reward of diligently training her children in the way they should go.
Boots was preceded in death by her granddaughter Ann-Elizabeth Doyle Brown, husband .
