Barbara Brown
July 11, 1935 – Aug. 21, 2021
Barbara Lee Brown passed away peacefully on Aug. 31, 2021, at the age of 86 on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. Her battle with serious medical issues over the past few years showed her courage in facing life challenges with determination and an unwillingness to compromise.
Barbara was born and raised in California and attended college at the University of Idaho where she was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. She later obtained her Master’s Degree in Library Science from the University of Montana. She worked for many years as a teacher and media specialist/librarian at schools all over the world including Washington, Oahu, Okinawa and West Germany. Undoubtedly, Barbara had a positive impact on the lives of many students during her thirty-five years as an educator. Barbara retired in 1997 to Oʻahu and later moved to Kailua-Kona on the Big Island.
Throughout her life, Barbara enjoyed traveling and experiencing different cultures, including trips to the Galapagos, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, the Philippines, Tahiti, France, Switzerland, England, Iceland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Austria, Greece, Luxembourg, Tunisia, Canada, Egypt, Israel and probably a few other places. Many of her early trips to Switzerland and Austria may have just been an excuse to ski in the Alps.
Aside from traveling, Barbara was passionate about animals. This led to trips to the Galapagos Islands and many hours of whale watching (counting) during her retirement years. She also donated substantially to animal rights organizations and animal causes.
Barbara is survived by her son Chris, daughter-in-law Kari, her grandchildren Casey and Chloe, and her brothers, David, Robert and Dana. Memorial service arrangements are pending.
