Mar 4, 1918 - Jan 4, 2015
Helaine Monica Miller Brown, age 96, died peacefully in her home on January 4, 2015, after a long and bountiful life. Born in Chicago, IL on March 4, 1918, Helaine and her older sister, Zoe, grew to be best friends and confidants.

Helaine is survived by her son, James M. Brown, Jr. and wife, Carol, of Little Rock, AR; her daughter, Floy Kaminski and husband, Amos, of New York, NY; her son, Donald K.
