IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Dorothy Ann
Irwin-Browning
December 2, 1941 – April 26, 2025
Dorothy (Doti) Ann Browning, age 83, passed into God's full presence on April 26, 2025 at home in Caledonia (Grand Rapids) Michigan, after living with lymphoma and Amyloidosis for several years. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister, and aunt.
Born in December 2, 1941 to Alex and Nellie Irwin of Muskegon, Michigan, Doti graduated from Muskegon Heights high school. She was married to her husband Jim for 45 years and spent the past 40 years living in Florida (Stuart and The Villages) before recently moving back to Michigan.
Along with raising her children, Doti worked for several years in her family's furniture business. She also had an artistic gift for cooking, gardening, ballroom dancing, and water color painting; and a wide curiosity of the natural world and human experience. She was a member of Calvin Christian Reformed Church in Muskegon and First United Methodist church in Stuart.
Doti was preceded in death by her parents and daughter Mia Smalligan and is survived by her husband Jim and children DeAnna (Larry) Fry, Kip Smalligan, and Daral (SooJin) Smalligan, grand-daughter Crystal Smalligan, sister Jeanne (Bill) Karis, brother Bob Irwin, and several nieces and nephews.
Doti requested a private memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Salvation Army or West Indies Self Help.
