Obituary of Margaret Louise Brown

Margaret Louise Brown of Garland, Texas, formerly of Houston, passed away on June 4, 2018, after a ten-month battle with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Margaret was born in Houston on May 17, 1964. She was a member of Chapelwood United Methodist Church and a 1982 graduate of Memorial High School. After attending Tulane University, she began a career in journalism with Miller Freeman, Inc. in San Francisco, becoming Managing Editor of Pulp & Paper magazine at age 24. In 1993 she joined the staff of Southwest Art magazine in Houston and became Editor in Chief in 1997. Margaret moved to Dallas in 2002 to become Editor of Cowboys & Indians magazine. An early proponent of digital publishing, she founded Shelf Media Group in 2010 and became owner and publisher of several digital magazines, including flagship Shelf Unbound and later Middle Shelf, Foreground, and Podster.

Margaret met the love of her life, Debra Pandak, in 2008, and they were married on April 26, 2014. Margaret is survived by Debra; her parents Bob and Pat Brown of Malvern, Pennsylvania; and her brother and sister-in-law Mark (WHS 80) and Anne Brown and their children Ellie, Russ, and Andy, all of Berwyn, Pennsylvania. She is also survived by a loving multitude of cousins and in-laws and a host of friends who all take comfort from having had her touch their lives. Special thanks to the loving and caring nurses at Baylor University Medical Center and to cousin Barbara Pflaumer, who teamed with Debra to care for Margaret over these last months.

A funeral service was held on June 8, 2018, at 4:00 p.m. at Sparkman Funeral Home, 1029 S. Greenville Ave., Richardson, Texas. Memorial donations may be made to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society or to the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, Texas.
