Margaret Patricia Brown Obituary

We bid farewell to Margaret Patricia Brown of Brookings, South Dakota, born in Hyattsville, Maryland, whose journey of life gracefully concluded on September 20, 2025 at the age of 80. Margaret touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to send flowers or leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

Though Margaret may no longer walk beside us, her memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Margaret touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In her absence, her spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Robert Swindler and Margaret Baldwin Swindler of George's County; her former husband Robert Durbin; and her husband Julian Brown. She is survived by: her children, Ruth, Elizabeth (late Julian Brown) and Andrew "Andy" Durbin; her daughter-in-law Anna Durbin; and her sister Helen Martin.
