Virginia (Kalson) Brower

Oct. 16, 1918 - Dec. 9, 2004

Virginia (Kalson) Brower went home to be with her lord and savior Jesus Christ and their heavenly father Thursday, Dec. 9, 2004.

Born in Waukesha on Oct. 16, 1918, to Henry and Hazel Kalson, she spent most of this life here. She and her husband, Ernest J. Brower, who preceded her in death, owned and operated Brower’s Food Market for many years. She will be fondly remembered by the many who from time to time were lovingly handed a small bag of penny candy.

Virginia also touched the lives of hundreds who had her for a Sunday school teacher at Evangelical and Reformed Church of Waukesha, and those who sat under her leadership in Brownies and Girl Scouts.

She will be missed greatly by her two daughters and their husbands, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas (Tamara) Kuepper of Milwaukee and Mr. and Mrs. James (Dawn) Hobbick of Pewaukee. Other survivors include her sister, Evelyn Wallace of Utah; her half sister, Crystal Jarvis of Illinois; and many nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. today, Dec. 13, at Cesarz, Charapata & Zinnecker Funeral Home, 237 Moreland Blvd., Waukesha. A funeral service will be held at 6 p.m., officiated by the Rev. Douglas Kuepper, pastor of Metro Milwaukee Bible Fellowship.
