Helen S. Brown, community activist and volunteer, died July 10, 2002, at the age of 84. She left an incredible legacy in the form of her poetry, leadership and an East Cleveland senior center named for her. Perhaps best recognized as the woman for whom a Cleveland area senior center is named, Mrs. Brown spent a lifetime as mother, wife, community volunteer, advocate and social worker.

She ended her working career with a 14-year commitment as Director of the Helen S. Brown Senior Center, named in her honor for her dedication to improving the lives of the community's older people. While modest in describing her accomplishments, Mrs. Brown conveys the value of reaching out to others and finding ways to keep people connected to improve their quality of life.
