BELOVED FORMER MOUNT DORA MERCHANT LOSES BATTLE WITH CANCER

For years the couple was a fixture in downtown Mount Dora.  As the owners of two different stores, The Olive Branch and Noni Home and Bath, Mike and Susan (Suzie) Brown were beloved members of the merchant community.    On November 11, Suzie passed away at 70 after a year-long battle with pancreatic cancer.

The couple stocked their stores with unique artisan finds from their trips across the globe.  Among their most popular items were the original paintings made by elephants.  The well-travelled couple later decided to combine the two stores into one to become Noni at the Olive Branch, which was later sold to its current owners in 2014.   

Suzie, an Indiana native, is survived by her husband, daughter Lori Rowley, and granddaughters Kara and Lyla Rowley.  A celebration of life will be held at a later date.  In lieu of flowers,  the family has requested donations to pancreatic cancer research through the American Cancer Society.
