Betty Jane Flowers Brown, 97, of Jasper, Tennessee passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at her home.
She was born on April 15, 1923, in Richard City, Tennessee, the eldest daughter of Troy Lee and Mary Inez Flowers. She attended Richard Hardy Memorial School and graduated from South Pittsburg High School in 1941. After completing her coursework at Edmondson Business College, she resided and worked in Chattanooga until marrying her husband of 62 years, Dallas, and moving to Jasper in 1948.

She loved her family most of all, especially the little ones, and she will be greatly missed by all.
