JANUARY 6, 1937 – FEBRUARY 28, 2018
Patrika Brown, a devoted Carsonite for well over a decade, originally worked as a lighting designer both on and off-Broadway in New York City. She also owned and ran a famous bakery there with her wife, Karen. Patrika was very community-minded and served on the CCA Board as Treasurer until 2008. She also enjoyed working in her art studio, creating powerful mixed- media works with clear statements. Patrika’s quick wit and sharp mind were part of her wonderful charm. She is survived by her wife of 47 years, Karen Dwyer, and many beloved friends. Patrika was the love of Karen’s life.
