Obituary of Sarah M. Brown

Sarah “Sally” (Daniszewski) Brown, 95, passed away on Tuesday,

December 3, 2024, at St. Camillus Nursing Home, Syracuse, NY.

Sarah was born on February 13, 1929, the third daughter of Bertha

(Zelinski) Daniszewski; grew up in Syracuse’s West End; and attended

the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus most all her life. She married

Harold “Brownie” Brown on July 27, 1951, and the two immensely

enjoyed nearly 63 years together in Fairmont. Sarah found both great

satisfaction and wonderful friendships throughout her 45-year career at

Syracuse China, where she worked as a quality control inspector. She

proudly contributed to a book published in 1997 by Syracuse University

Press chronicling the people who pioneered the pottery’s manufacturing

of vitrified fine china with distinctive high-quality “rolled edges,”

thereby revolutionizing America’s hotel and restaurant dining.

Sarah was predeceased by her husband and her two older sisters, Clara

(Frederick) Waibel and Virginia (Dominic) Celletti. She is survived by

her dear sister Margaret (Eli) Marposon of Westvale, NY; her much-

loved nieces and nephews: Barbara (Steven) Carr, Donna Gibbs, James

(Mary) Celletti, Frederick Waibel, Dale (Mary) Waibel, Gregory

Marposon, Christopher (Karen) Marposon, Daniel (Cristin) Marposon,

and Martin (Angela) Marposon; and her cherished cousins: Mary Ann

Zelinski and Kathleen (Charles) Casson; as well as several great-nieces

and great-nephews.

Relatives and friends are invited to Sarah’s Memorial Funeral Mass on

Friday, December 13, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. at the Basilica of the Sacred

Heart of Jesus, 927 Park Ave., Syracuse, NY. A graveside ceremony

Syracuse.
