Mrs. Dorothy Jean Brumit Brown, age 73, of Columbia, TN passed away Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at her residence.

A celebration of Dorothy’s life will be conducted Friday, April 12 ^th at 11am in the Chapel of Heritage Funeral Home, directed by her family members. Burial will follow in Polk Memorial Gardens.

A native of Nashville, Dorothy was one of 13 children of Herman Brumit and Ethel Trenary Brumit. She was formerly employed with BellSouth Mobility.

Dorothy loved casinos and gambling. She enjoyed any “classic” game show, especially Wheel of Fortune. If a college basketball or football game wasn’t being played, she could be found playing Scrabble on her computer or spoiling her Jack Russell Terrier, Patches. She will be remembered as a great cook and a person who couldn’t tell someone “no.” Dorothy believed that everybody had potential as long as they had breath. There was no such thing as a lost cause.

Earlier in life, she loved RV trips with her family and the fishing opportunities that came. It was always difficult to keep her away from a fishing pole.

Dorothy is survived by her son: Joe (Vee) Browne of Dayton, OH; daughter: Lynn (Mike) Prosser of Columbia, TN; brothers: Kenny, Tommy, Jackie, Bobby, Jimmy and Herman Brumit all of Nashville, and Charlie Brumit of Santa Fe Community; sisters: Helen Eaves and June Hedge of Nashville; 8 grandchildren: Kimberly (Steve) Brady, Keith (Jamie) Bradley, Kerry Bradley, Brittany (Paul) Carlton, Brandon Gibson, Jarrett Browne, Lindsay Browne and Haylee Moore; and 4 great-grandchildren: Mallory Brady, Madelyn Brady, K.J. Bradley, Cayla Glenn and Noah Gibson.
