Angie is finally in her eternal resting place. Angie passed away on March 12, 2023, at the age of 79 in Columbia, Tennessee. She suffered many long years from Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) caused by a mutation in the VCP gene. Angie was well taken care of by her beloved, late husband, Dr. Jerry Brown, up until his unfortunate passing on November 5, 2022. Since Jerry’s passing, Angie had been under hospice care at NHC Columbia.
