Emma Jean Marino Browning, 61, died (Saturday, July 21, 2007) in Miles City.

She was born December 19, 1945 in Rockville Center, New York, one of twin daughters born to James and Florence Fadden Marino. She attended schools in New York state, where she grew up, spending considerable time with the extended family of her favorite aunt, uncle and cousins before graduating in 1964 from Lansing Central School near Ithaca.

After nurses training at Tompkins County Community Hospital she worked in the ICU of Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse where she met and married Don Hay. Part of the baby-boomer generation that grew up in the sixties, she formed many of her beliefs, politics and attitudes that carried throughout her life. As this flower child of Woodstock matured she kept her attachment to animals, people and the outdoors. She loved her adopted Montanas space and climate and considered it home.

In 1978 she married Mark Browning in Miles City. They founded Browning Arts and in 1981 moved it to Grand Forks, ND. For the next dozen years she constructed stained glass windows in that studio that also featured an art gallery and picture framing. Upon returning to Miles City, she again worked in the care-giving and nursing field. She enjoyed her adopted grandparents that she assisted in her work at TLC Personal Care Home.

Her survivors include her husband, Mark and son Chris of Miles City; son Paul (Yensy) Browning and grandchildren, Devin and Darian of Seattle, WA; her mother, Florence Marino of Ithaca, NY; a twin sister, Barbara Reynolds (Ray), Lansing, NY, a half-brother Carman Chick Marino, a niece and nephew and numerous cousins.
