Marinda Browne Obituary (2006 - 2014)

Marinda Browne March 9, 2006 -- April 29, 2014 Click here to listen to Funeral Recording Marinda Browne was born March 9, 2006, in Silver Spring, MD, to Michael Todd and Rebecka Lindeman Browne, the first of 3 daughters. She has also lived in Walla Walla and Richland, WA; Pocatello, ID; and most recently Harrisville. Marinda shared her mother's love of reading. She enjoyed hearing bedtime stories from her parents and would also read on her own for hours. She loved spending time with her parents and sisters, going on vacations and doing science experiments. She loved tagging along during bike rides and runs with her daddy and spent many hours at the park. Marinda was known for her kindness and willingness to share with others, and in her own words, her "funniness." Marinda loved to go to church, especially her Primary classes. She was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in March 2014 and was in the process of reading the Book of Mormon with her family. One of her favorite Primary songs is "If the Savior Stood Beside Me." After watching a video about the resurrection of the Savior, Marinda said "He is risen, and I will [rise] too!" Marinda was diagnosed with an inoperable brainstem tumor in July 2013. We are grateful for the extra months we got to spend with her after her radiation therapy. Marinda asked for her radiation mask to be painted like her favorite cartoon character, Scooby-Doo. We are grateful to family and friends who provided babysitting, meals, lawn mowing, construction materials and labor for the playhouse, and moral support over the past several months. Thank you to Mrs. Stoker, her second grade class, and Majestic Elementary for your love and support. We are also grateful to Primary Children's, Make-A-Wish Utah, Anything for a Friend, and the Huntsman Cancer Center, and in lieu of flowers, recommend donations to these organizations in Marinda's memory. Marinda passed away surrounded by family on April 29, 2014. She is survived by her parents; sisters Cambrie and Ashlynn; a brother who is due in June; grandparents, Randy and Laura Browne and Kelvin and Kathryn Lindeman; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. She was lovingly welcomed to the spirit world by several ancestors.
