My Life Story Dorothy Jean Brown was called home by our Lord on February 26, 2018, at a care facility in Boise, Idaho. She was born in Santa Monica, California, on March 27, 1943, to Esther and Fred Dewin. Her family moved to Idaho when she was about 4, where she lived for the rest of her life except for a few years in Michigan where she was employed by General Motors. Dorothy taught religious education at several Catholic Parishes over a quarter century specializing in preparing second graders for their first communion. She graduated from cosmetology school in 1979 and after working for a while in a hair salon in Eagle, opened her own shop in her home.
