Kathleen Ellen Brown, daughter of William Noecker, born on 2 April 1947 went home to be with the Lord on 28 December 2010 after a long and arduous illness. She is survived by her mother Ruth Noecker, her devoted husband Terrence of Harwood, MD, her loving sons Sean of Odenton, MD and Kevin of Columbia, MD and 3 adoring grandchildren. Kathy was born in Sinking Spring, PA and grew up traveling the globe with her parents, as her father was transferred to different countries including Egypt, France, and Germany. She then received a bachelor's degree from Kutztown University in English and a master's degree from University of Indiana in Russian Linguistics. She was married to Terrence in 1974 and spent the remainder of her life devoted to serving the Lord by raising her two sons and teaching always. She was an elementary school teacher at Grace Christian School from 1983-1989 and remained with her sons who went to Grace Christina School. She was then promoted and served as the school administrator from 1989-2002. She then went back to her true passion of teaching for the remainder of her career from 2002 - 2004.
