BROWN, NATALIE S. (SYMONDS) Natalie S. (Symonds) Brown, 40, East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Natalie Sue (Symonds) Brown, 40 of East Stroudsburg went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 after a long illness. She was the beloved wife of Dennis J. Brown, devoted mother of Alexandra Justine, 19, Cassandra Louise, 15, and Jesseca Maridel Margaret Brown, 14 and beloved daughter of Fred and Maridel (Harding) Symonds of Browns Flat, New Brunswick Canada, who cared for Natalie and sacrificially supported the family over the nearly nine years of her battle with congestive heart failure. Natalie worked full-time during her illness alongside her husband and displayed a desire to live that was inspiring to all who knew her. She is also survived by two sisters and one brother, Robyn Gibson (George Chambers) of Digby, NS, Canada, Clint (Shelly-whom Natalie considered a sister) Symonds of Fredericton, NB, Canada, and Eva Symonds (Mike Ashworth) of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and several aunts; uncles; cousins; nieces; nephews (Noah Gibson, Matthew, Zachary and Emaleigh Grace Symonds of Fredericton) and a dear friend, Lilah Swink, of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada on August 27, 1967, Natalie attended the Olivet Wesleyan Church where she accepted the gift of salvation from the Lord Jesus Christ. She graduated from Fredericton High School, attended Bethany Bible College and graduated from the NBCC-Moncton. Natalie was a gifted singer, jewelry designer, woodworker, businesswoman and pastor's wife, partnering with her husband in ministry at 3 Wesleyan Churches in Canada and the United States. Natalie will be remembered for her congenial demeanor that so impacted all those she knew and came in contact with. Natalie also enjoyed traveling with her family, her cottage at Beulah Camp and the loving and meaningful interaction with her mother and father in the final days of her life. The family joyfully celebrates Natalie's homegoing but the loss of Natalie to her family and friends cannot be measured or expressed. Natalie is predeceased by one brother, Jarred Fred; her grandparents, Rev. G. R. and Eva Symonds, Robert and Lois Harding and her very close friend, Cora Mosler. A homegoing celebration will be held at Olivet Wesleyan Church in Fredericton, NB, Canada on Wednesday, April 23, 2008 at 2:00pm. A committal service and fellowship will follow. In lieu of flowers, kindly remit donations to the Symonds-Brown Memorial Scholarship Fund at Bethany Bible College.
