    Notes:

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    From Sandy Joy (Lee) Brownlow
    I received your email via Bob Webb and I have some clarifications to make on your information. Cheryl Jean Brownlow was the oldest child of Helen and Bob. Cheryl’s first marriage was to Daniel O’Keefe; they had four children, Daniel, Jr is the oldest. All four of these children live in Maryland. Your information is correct regarding Tiffany. Those are the five children of Cheryl. There were no other children born with her other marriages.

    Billy Bob Brownlow (no Ray in his name) was legally adopted to a childless couple by the name of Moore in Corpus Christi. Billy Bob Moore is encrypted in a cemetery in Corpus Christi, TX. He had a daughter, Jennifer, when he was married to Linda Brownlow; this daughter is younger than Cheryl’s first four children; Tiffany is Cheryl’s youngest child. After Billy and Linda divorced we lost all track of the child Jennifer Moore, as her mother broke all ties with Helen, Cheryl and Billy Bob.

    So, the oldest grandchild of Robert Martin Brownlow, Jr. is Daniel O’Keefe. His phone number is 410-804-8491.

    Helen married Bob Brownlow when I was three years old in 1946 or 7. I lived with them in Waco until they divorced in 1953 or 54. Florence Brownlow, Bob’s mother, also lived with us. Actually we lived in her house at 1526 N. 7th St. in Waco. After the divorce Helen, Cheryl, Billy and I moved back to Corpus Christi where Helen went to work for Civil Service at NAS Corpus Christi. At that point I moved in with my maternal grandparents and lived there until I graduated from high school.

    Bob Brownlow went to Huntsville prison for manslaughter after he and Helen were divorced. He had another marriage and divorce with no children after his divorce from Helen. He apparently straightened out his life while in prison and married for a third time to a lady named Lola when he was released. Bob and Lola were living in Alameda County, California, at the time of his death.

    HELEN MCCARNEY

    SUGAR LAND - Helen Louise Chandler McCarney, 90, of Sugar Land, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Dec. 31, 2011. She was born Mar. 20, 1921, in Yoakum to the late Johnnie Eugene Chandler and Martha Pearl Dickinson Chandler.
    Prior to moving into assisted living in Sugar Land in Mar. 2005, she lived in Corpus Christi where she worked at the Supply and Fiscal Department of NAS Corpus Christi for many years. She loved the Lord and was always happy; she was never demanding or complaining. She said many times in her later years that she was ready to leave this world and be with her Lord.
    She graduated from Yoakum High School where she was a pep leader for the Bulldogs and won a state-wide school oratory contest which she delivered at the Texas Centennial Celebration in 1936. She remembered the speech and could recite it until her very last years of life. As a fifth generation Texan, she loved her family and her Texas history. She descended from Dr. Samuel Burling Dickinson; through his son, David Milton Dickinson; through his son, Marvin Voss Dickinson; and through his daughter, Martha Pearl Dickinson Chandler.
    She is survived by her daughter, Sandra Joy Lee Hall and husband Jack; ever-attentive brother, Norman Eugene Chandler and wife Gerri; 5 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews who all loved her.
    She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Thomas McCarney; sister, Sybil Belle Chandler Pitcock; daughter, Cheryl Jean Brownlow Whitehead; and son, Billy Moore.
    It was her wish was to be cremated.
    A private family Memorial will be held in Mar. at County Line Cemetery where the family will gather to remember her and spend the day beautifying the cemetery grounds in preparation for Decoration Day to be held Apr. 15, 2012.
