Renee Colleen Brown
December 9, 1957 – January 23, 2023
Reneé was a true angel on earth, a giver of light and peace, a lover of all animals, especially her beloved horse “Holly.” She was an ‘Earth Mama’ who adamantly believed in the healing powers of the natural world.
Anyone who has met and come to know Reneé can attest to her positive, loving nature and her incredible ability to lift one’s spirit.
Her healing hands have brought wellness to countless members of her widespread community. She will be missed by all who have been blessed to have her as part of their lives and will forever be carried within our hearts and souls.
There will be a community memorial at a later date.
Friends and family gathered at the Elgin Bridge on January 27 to decorate the bridge in honor of Renee Brown, of Elgin, who died suddenly on January 23.
Renee was one of the group that, over the past few years, has decorated the Bridge for major holidays. “Renee was everybody’s friend. Everyone just loved her. She was very kind and sweet,” Linda Anderson said. “She always had a smile – always. She is going to be sorely missed by all of us.”
