In 1991, the family moved back to the Western NC mountains, where Dr. Mike spent the next 17 years doing what he loved, treating children at Hendersonville Pediatrics and Rainbow Pediatrics. He retired in 2008, but continued to be known as “Dr. Mike,” reaching out to so many in the community with a stethoscope and an open heart. In 2009, surrounded by his family, Dr. Mike received the high honor of the North Carolina Pediatric Society Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award.
For decades, Mike enjoyed fly fishing all over the world, even teaching many others the art of casting. More recently, Dr. Mike has gone above and beyond to support Parkinson’s research, local musicians and the farming community, spreading love and humor. He has been very generous with his time, promoting events that helped important causes, which included creating and leading his own children’s comedy camp at the Hands On Children’s Museum in Hendersonville. Inspired by his own daughter with cerebral palsy, Dr. Mike also spent a lot of energy reaching out to special needs kids across NC.

"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay."
--Robert Frost

Mr. Browning passed quickly in his home Monday evening, April 20, sitting with his new bride at age 85. Bert loved people, the mountains of western Carolina and was a friend to all who met him.
He was born in downtown Hendersonville on 6th Avenue in 1929 to Sara and Bert Browning, Jr. and drove a milk truck through town regularly at age 14, while younger drivers helped at home during WWII. He earned his pilot’s license as a teenager and graduated ROTC from Hendersonville High School in 1948. He graduated from NC State in ’52 and was directly commissioned as an Army Lieutenant Medic. Bert started his career with Merrill Lynch in Charlotte. He was promoted in ‘67 to their New York headquarters as a manager migrating the paper recordkeeping of the largest U.S. investment firm to computers.
Bert left corporate life and returned to Hendersonville in 1975 when he renovated the building on the NE corner of First & Main. He was instrumental in the federal designation of our Historic Downtown area. This brought the serpentine road design with its planters and benches that fostered the re-birth and added charm to our active business district. The Browning Title insurance agency served on the corner for more than 25 years during a time of tremendous growth in Henderson County.
Bert spent his retirement in Saluda, NC and was woven into the community socially and spiritually. One of the first things he did there was to help stabilize the library. Bert was a joyful and intelligent man, believing that we are all expressions of God. He studied numerous religions, cultures and philosophies. He enjoyed cooking for others and spoke from the heart to encourage and mentor friends of all ages.
He is survived by Dana Feaster Browning, his wife of four months with whom he shared a gentle peace and true love in his final days; his sister Virginia Turner of Hendersonville; three sons: Parker Browning, a tax advisor in Hendersonville; Tom Browning, a software engineer in Bellevue, WA; and Sidney Browning, a financial planner living in Alpharetta, GA with his wife Alia and Bert’s grandchildren, Laila (18) and Benjamin (15).
In lieu of flowers or donations, the family asks that you mentor a youth, be generous and tell your friends that you love them.
There will be a private family service and Memorial Celebration for those that loved and supported Bert in the coming weeks. Remembrances can be sent to Sidney at sidneybrowning@bellsouth.net
Linda Jones Moore, 62, of Fletcher passed away Sunday, April 19, 2015.
She was raised in Kentucky and was fiercely proud of the Blue Grass State. After residing in many worldwide locations, she was a resident of Henderson County for 20 years. Linda was a daughter of the late Robert and Caroline Jones and was also preceded in death by her aunt, Esther Bauman.
She received her bachelor’s degree from Murray State University and her master’s degree from the University of Louisville. She was employed at the Fletcher Branch of Henderson County Library as a Librarian and was a member of Etowah United Methodist Church.
Linda was an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was the recipient of a US Army medal: The Commander’s Award for Public Service, for her support of US armed forces, other governmental agencies, and their families while in overseas locations.
Linda was an adventurer. She was avidly curious about the world and was always searching for answers. She loved exploring, taking hikes, canoeing, and scuba diving. Her travels sent her to most of Europe and she followed the journey of Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean.
Linda was known for her inner strength and beautiful spirit. She had a whimsical sense of humor. Her nurturing presence was essential in her years as a social worker, helping countless people in need. Linda was also a dreamer who always had creative ideas. During her employment at the library, she was able to utilize her creativity by leading story hours for the pre-school children. There was nothing she liked more than reading and sharing her crafts with kids in the community. An avid crafter, she had countless projects she was working on, anything from mending her daughter’s dresses to crocheting a toilet seat cover!
Most importantly, she loved her family and friends passionately. She treasured her relationships with her three sisters. She married her soulmate and they created a beautiful life and many memories together over the years. The love they shared brought two daughters, whom Linda loved more than anything.

Esther Melissa Bauman was born in Englewood, Colorado, to Charlotte and Cad Turpen on December 2, 1933. The youngest of three, she was predeceased by her parents, her sister Caroline Jones and brother Whitney Turpen. She passed away at peace with the world on April 13 at the age of 81. Divorced from Budrow Bauman after ten years of marriage, Esther had no children, but had five nieces, their children, and many close friends she counted as family.
Esther received an associates degree in education from Ventura College in California in 1960 where she was vice president of Alpha Gamma Sigma, a scholarship society. She went on to earn a bachelors degree in education from University of California at San Fernando 1964 and was a certified teacher. Esther found her calling in social work, however, and worked for the Los Angeles County Welfare Department for 28 years, retiring in 1989. She was a lifelong learner, taking classes at UCLA, then after retiring to North Carolina, at Blue Ridge Community College.
Esther was an intelligent, sardonically funny, beautiful woman who lived life on her own terms. She read widely and was an engaging conversationalist. Esther was an adventurous woman who loved to travel, and enjoyed gambling trips with her friends. She could present a cantankerous front at times, which camouflaged a generous spirit and a deeply spiritual inner life. Her years as a social worker gave her one outlet for her compassion, but we will never know all the people she helped personally over the years with food, clothing, shelter, cash, information, advice, and non-judgmental support. Her beloved dog, Belle, was a constant companion in her first years of retirement, and she cared as much for the welfare of animals as for people in need.
Esther will be interred alongside her brother Whitney and his wife, Ruth, in Denver, Colorado, at a later date. Those wishing to honor her memory could donate to the Manna Foodbank, Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina, the Blue Ridge Humane Society, or purchase artwork from Mouth and Foot Painting Artists, an organization Esther supported that helps disabled artists sell their work.
