Carol Brown

Carol Ann Brown, age 82, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 11, 2025 at Brookdale Senior Living in Littleton, Colorado. She was born December 10, 1942 in Gainesville, TX to Jack and Elizabeth “Betty” Liedtke.

Carol Ann had a true love for all animals, wild and domestic, and showered love on the too- many-to-count dogs and cats she adopted throughout her life. She greatly enjoyed volunteering as a docent at the Denver Zoo several times a week. She was always happy spending hours at a time in what she called “dirt therapy” - cultivating her beloved garden full of flowers and native plants while cheerfully talking with neighborhood families. She loved reading, a passion further fueled by her career as a librarian in the local library. Spending time in the mountains and loudly cheering at her grandsons’ hockey games were favorite pastimes. She will be dearly missed.

Carol Ann was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Warren. She is survived by her two daughters, Sara and Marta, and her 6 beloved grandchildren to whom she is “G-ma”.

No services are planned at this time; the shared love of Carol Ann supports and sustains her family.

Thank you for thinking of us.

In lieu of sending flowers, please honor Carol’s love of them in other ways:

Walk among the trees and feel the sunlight. Remember her joy in being outdoors

Share a smile and a hug with someone

Spend some time with a single flower. Smell it, touch the petals. Really look at it.

Have a Hot Fudge Sundae

Enjoy what she loved as we celebrate her time with us.
