DOVER - Catherine M. Brown, of Dover, joined the Lord on Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2011, in Kent General Hospital. Kay was born, June 23, 1947, in Chestertown, Md., to Catherine and Edward Lomax. Kay's early childhood was spent in Price, Md., where her playhouse was filled with stained glass windows. After moving to Camden, Kay attended Holy Cross Elementary School in Dover, followed by Caesar Rodney High School in Camden, graduating in 1966. Kay went to work at Kent General Hospital, Dover, as bookkeeper from 1966 until 1975. On Feb. 13, 1975, Kay, and her then husband, welcomed the birth of their only child, son, Christopher P. Salgado. She then continued her career and became a bookkeeper for Berry Van Lines in Dover, worked at Dover Datsun in Dover, as a title clerk and bookkeeper, and in 1987 went to work in Kent County Government Sewer/Water/Tax office(s) until retiring in 2009. On April 15, 1989, Kay married her soul mate, Edward (Pete) Brown. Kay was an accomplished baker of cakes and cookies. She loved and accomplished many beautiful crochet pieces along with her excellent sewing talent. Kay was extremely charitable to all in need and she loved all holidays, Christmas being her favorite. Kay loved to help "Santa" on the North Pole phone lines for kids. Kay loved country music, going to Bingo and the slots and everyone knows her favorite response to just about everything was, "Whatever."
