Myra Joyce “Granny” Brown, age 93, of Enterprise, Alabama passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 26, 2020 at 11:52 pm at the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Joe and Gail Smith.

She was born in Powderly, Alabama close to Birmingham. She attended Jones Valley High School in Powderly. She lived most of her adult life in Radcliff, Kentucky where Joyce and her husband, Shelby Brown, owned and operated Brown’s Shoe Repair Shop until they retired. Joyce was a member of the Eastern Star’s in Radcliff, Kentucky and active with the VFW. After Shelby’s passing, Joyce continued to stay active and worked at Steward Manor as the Assistant Monitor. In 2015, she moved to Enterprise, AL to be near family. Joyce lived life to fullest and loved her sports, especially, her Kentucky Wildcats. For being 93, she was very tech-savvy. She facetimed her family members daily, was proficient on her computer and loved making her own special birthday cards.

Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, Ressie and Harvey McDanal, her husband, Shelby L. Brown, and her eldest son, Dennis Smith.

Joyce is survived by her sister, Betty Torbert; her brother, H. O. McDanal; her sons, BG(R) Joseph A. (Gail) Smith and Chuck (JoJo) Smith; her five grandchildren, Chris (Emma), Jason, Derek (Megan), Savannah, and Sara; and her 8 great-grandchildren.

The family would like to express our thanks for the wonderful help and care given by DaySpring Hospice of Enterprise, AL.
