Helen was born in January of 1921, in Chico, CA. to Alvin and Nettie Rouse. She was the youngest of five children.

Helen attended school in Chico and in 1938 she was the first of four generations to graduate from Chico Senior High School. James Brown became her husband in July of 1939. They celebrated 50 years of marriage in 1989, just two months before he passed away. Survivors include her three children, Sue and her husband, John, Diane and her husband, Joe, Joel and his wife, Susan; five grandchildren, Rhonda, Tammy, Jennifer, John and Kelly; seven great-grandchildren, Jeremy, Chris, Kelsey, Rachel, Heath, Dylan and Cody. Her grandson, Jim, predeceased her in 1981. Helen loved to travel and took her family on many cruises. One of her favorite adventures was to hop into her 1972 Chevy Pickup and camper and head to the mountains or ocean to join family members for a great time of camping. You could always hear her coming because she would have her Willie Nelson 'On The Road Again" tape blaring away. We all love you, Mom, and will really miss you.
