Suzanne Chandler Robinett Brown died at home surrounded by her family on July 28 in Louisville, Ky. She was 76. Suzanne, daughter of Hayden Maurice and Anne Mae Chandler Robinett, was born September 30, 1943, grew up in Topeka, Kan. and graduated from Topeka High School. She later attended Washburn University in Topeka as well as The Tobé-Coburn School in New York city.

Suzanne spent many years in St. Louis, where her children were born and she met her second husband, Morgan Scott Brown of Bedford, N.Y. and Chappaquiddick. Other stops included a brief time in Los Angeles and then Louisville for the last 36 years. The other special place in her life was Edgartown. Introduced to the Island in 1978, it became a destination for Suzanne and her family almost every summer. She and Morgan were members of the Edgartown Yacht Club and the Chappaquiddick Beach Club.

She also loved interior decorating. She poured her heart and soul into her house and was justifiably proud of those efforts. Her beautiful garden that she and Morgan painstakingly grew for over 30 years created a lovely oasis for her family. Suzanne was one-of-a-kind in many ways. Loyal and curious, she had a firm manner coupled with just as big a heart. She was proud of her family and her southern roots.

Tenacity Brown, as she was called, was the epitome of a do-er who wouldn’t take no for an answer – if she could find a way to make something happen, it would. She loved her many dogs, Cavalier King Charles spaniels, over the years. In recent years, they and her grandchildren were her priority and joy.

Suzanne is predeceased by her loving husband, Morgan S. Brown, who died in 2005.

She is survived by her children, John R. Bradbury, Jr, of Darien, Conn. and Sarah B. Robbins (Keith) of Louisville, Ky. She leaves four grandchildren. They will all miss her very much.

A memorial service will be held at St. Francis in the Fields Episcopal Church, Louisville, at a future date and she will be interred with Morgan at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Bedford, N.Y. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made in her memory to St. Francis in the Fields Episcopal Church.
