Aavah's Angels
continue efforts to
help Mangus family
BY PATrl CARPENTER
A group of thoughtful fifth-graders--Alyssa Rael, Sam
Cornia and Hailey Rael--from Lovell Elementary School
have been busy for several months coming up with ways to
raise funds to help classmate Dallen Mangus' little sister
Aavah, who suffers from complications of a rare disease
called heterotaxy.
The students have already raised $600 by placing a
donation jar in the lobby of the school. That jar will re-
main in the lobby of the school through February. With
the help of the student council, the students also plan to
station themselves in the Lovell High School gymnasium
on Jan. 23 when the LHS basketball teams host the boys
and girls teams from Powell High School.
The group plans to sell heart suckers during the event.
They also plan to raffle off a "Hometown Glory" print and
to hold a silent auction for a basket filled with goodies
like games, popcorn and other items that were donated by
school staffmembers. The students have set a goal to raise
$3,000 for the family.
Aavah was diagnosed with the disease prior to her
birth and has endured many complications of the disease.
Heterotaxy causes certain organs in the infant's body to
form on the opposite side of the body from where they
would normally form. For example, the heart forms on the
right side instead of on the left side of the body. It is also
known to affect the development of the heart and other
major organs like the liver, lungs, intestines and spleen.
As is common with many babies, Aavah required a heart
transplant, which she received at only three months old.
Most recently, little Aavah developed a rare blood dis-
ease called warm and cold agglutinin and once again, she
seems to be beating the odds of succumbing to the disease
with the help of the medical staff at Children's" Primary
Hospital in Utah.
The disease affects Aavah's red blood cells, which are
continually breaking down, causing her hemaocrit and he-
moglobin to drop to unsafe levels. Already the disease has
required Aavah to receive numerous blood transfusions.
In spite of Aavah's continued medical problems, the
family remains optimistic.
Aavah has a Facebook page called Prayers for Aavah
Jude and a large following of supporters. Several fundrais-
ers have been held to help the family, including several co-
ordinated by this same group of good-hearted children.
Classmate Dallen Mangus is also helping with the
fundraiser to help his baby sister. For more information,
contact Gwen Walker at 548-2247.

Charles Wilbur Brown
Feb. 1, 1950
Charles Wilbur Brown,
64, died in Billings on Jan.
9, 2015. Charlie was born
Feb. 1, 1950, in Lovell to
Gerald W. and Beulah Asay
Brown. He was the seventh
of eight siblings. After the
tragic loss of his parents
and oldest sister Nadine,
he grew up in the home
of his Aunt Ellen and Un-
cle Harry Cook through his
high school years. Charlie
graduated from Lovell High
School in 1969.
He joined the U.S.
Navy but was soon honor-
ably discharged because of
impaired hearing. He then
headed to South Caroli-
na to see his brother Ger-
ry for the summer. After re-
turning to Lovell he started
working at the Great West-
ern Sugar factory. After
that, he went on to work at
Nicholls and Lewis, ending
his work career with Lovell
Redi-Mix in 2008. Charlie
was always a hard worker.
He always put 100 percent
into every job.
Charlie was working in
Worland when he met and
married Yvonne Holdren on
July 17, 1970. To this union
was born Tamara Ann.
Charlie and Yvonne lat-
er divorced. Five years lat-
er he met Dora Mae Awalt.
They married in 1982.
With that union came two
children, Rebekah Jo and
Travis Lynn, whom he later
adopted. In the year 1983
their fourth child was born,
Tonya Marie.
The family was sealed
for time and all eternity
at the Idaho Falls Temple.
Their love for children went
further than their own.
Charlie and Dora opened
their home to foster chil-
dren and children in need.
Danny Frederick was one
foster child who came into
their home and was wel-
comed with open arms. He
became part of their family.
Charlie lost the love of his
life, Dora, in a tragic car ac-
cident in 1986. He went on
to raise all the children on
- Jan. 9, 2015
his own.
Charlie's interests in-
cluded anything outdoors.
He loved hunting, fishing,
camping and going in to
Moss •Ranch. He would al-
ways have a joke to tell to
anyone who needed a laugh.
His favorite hobby was pho-
tography. He took photos of
everyone. Where there was
beautiful scenery, he made
sure to capture it: He even
took pictures of work sites.
He was a man of many
nicknames. His family
knew him as Dad and Papa
Charlie. Friends called him
Fat Cat, Certified and Otis.
Charlie was gracious and
humble. He will be greatly
missed.
He was preceded in
death by his parents Ger-
ald and Buelah Brown, his
brother, Ray Brown, sisters
Nadine Brown and Bever-
ly Sanford and his beloved
wife, Dora. He is survived
by his children Tammy
(Travis) Adey of Lovell,
Travis (Kathy) Brown of
Billings, Rebekah McCuen
of Billings, Tonya (Chris)
Fink of Missoula and Dan-
ny (Ronda) Frederick of
Worland; 17 grandchildren,
two great-grandchildren
and siblings Linda, Doro-
thy, Carol and Gerry.
Visitation and services
were held on Wednesday,
Jan. 14, and he was laid to
• rest in the Byron Cemetery.
Memorial donations can be
made in Charles' name at
the Bank of Lovell.
