Rev. Canon Brown was the first women in the Church of Ireland to be ordained to full time ministry. She was curate under Rev. Brian Courtney in St. Nicholas', Carrickfergus, until 1991 when she was instituted as rector at St. Paul's Parish Church, Belfast. During her time there, however, the parish amalgamated with the local parish of St. Barnabas and stands today as the parish church of St. Paul and St. Barnabas, York Street. Canon Brown retired from full time ministry in 2007. She is currently pastoral minister to the widows of clergy in the Diocese of Connor, in which she was previously canonised in 2002 at the Belfast Cathedral Church of St. Anne.
