A graveside service will be held on Saturday, August 9, at 11:00 AM in the Washington Street Cemetery. Visitation will be held at Markwell Funeral Home, Casey one hour prior to service. Marie was born to Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Hensiek on October 8, 1910, in Casey, IL, during the great oil boom in this area. The family soon moved to the country near the Macedonia Church, where her father worked in the oil fields. She attended the Macedonia Church and went to the Yanaway School. After graduating from high school during the days of the Great Depression, she went to St. Louis, MO, to find a job. She was married to Paul C. Brown in St. Louis, on December 23, 1932. He passed away on August 2, 1993. She worked at St. Luke's Hospital as secretary to a group of pathologists-a job she really enjoyed. After retiring, she and her husband returned to Casey. Marie was a member of the Mary Martha Circle at the United Methodist Church in Casey. She made many walker bags for the Casey Nursing Home patients, and for friends who needed one. She also made lap robes for the patients and through the church many were shipped overseas where there was a great need for them. Marie was preceded in death by her parents, husband, three brothers, Earl, Wilson and Albert Hensiek and two sisters, Thelma Majewski and Leona Kemper. She is survived by sister in law, Arlene Hensiek of Casey, IL; nieces and nephews: David Hensiek, Diane Reeds, Carol Miller, Ronald Kemper, Teresita Majewski, Roger Hensiek, Scherry Taylor, Carlene Abel, and J.D.
