WOOLWICH — Gloria J. Brawn, 74, of Brawn Drive died Tuesday, January 16, 2018 at Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick.
She was born in Houlton on January 9, 1944, a daughter of Leland and Marjorie (Ruth) Irish.
She grew up in Bath and attended Morse High School where she met Arthur Brawn. They were married on February 28, 1962 and lived in Woolwich. In 1985 they moved to Linneus, Maine and owned and operated Gloria’s Country Inn. They returned to Woolwich in 1987.
She was a member of the Lions Club in Wiscasset serving as president and secretary, a past member of the Woolwich Fire Dept. Auxiliary and the American Legion Auxiliary in Bath.
She enjoyed painting, travelling, camping and spending time with the grandchildren and great grandchildren. She had an adventurist bucket list that included skydiving. She was extremely proud the day she checked that off her list. Her passion to help others who were in need was a lifelong avocation that she pursued quietly throughout her life.
She is survived by her husband, Arthur Brawn of Woolwich, one son, Roger Brawn and his wife Greta of Woolwich, sisters; Gail Smith, Laura Leonard and Debora Irish, two grandchildren Breann Hale and Jessica Mailly and three great grandchildren; Damien, Miya and Colby and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
