Molly Brown Death & Obituary: The Old Queenstonia Association and the Queenstown Girls’ High School (GHS) community are deeply saddened by the passing of Molly Brown, the school’s oldest surviving graduate. Molly, who would have celebrated her 100th birthday in just six months, passed away peacefully on August 3, 2024.
A Lifelong Connection to GHS
Molly Brown, née Miles, was a distinguished figure in the GHS community. Born on March 24, 1925, she began her journey at Queenstown Girls’ High School in 1940, graduating in 1943. Known affectionately as “Milly Moles” by her friends, Molly’s time at GHS was marked by fond memories and a lasting impact.
Molly’s connection to GHS went beyond her own education. She married Bisset Brown, an Old Queenian, and together they upheld the tradition of attending GHS within their family. Their children, including Diane Brown, who served as head girl in 1969, and their grandchildren, continued the family’s educational legacy, embodying Molly’s enduring influence.
Family and Educational Legacy
Molly’s deep roots in the Queenstown community are a source of pride. Growing up on a farm in the Molteno district with her three brothers, she learned the values of hard work and community early on. After marrying Bisset, the couple lived on the Brown family farm, Penryn, also in Molteno, demonstrating their commitment to their heritage.
In her later years, Molly resided in Gonubie and Kidds Beach, where she remained a beloved figure among family and friends. Her life was defined by her profound connection to her family, her heritage, and the educational institutions that shaped both her and her descendants.
