Carol Anne Brown, a JMU freshman, died unexpectedly on April 12.
Brown was an accomplished equestrian, cheerleader, lacrosse player, actress and avid Soap Box Derby racer. The Spotsylvania native also enjoyed playing guitar and piano. She was 18 years old.
Active in giving back to her community, she did more than 300 community service hours before enrolling in JMU.
As an organ donor, Brown gave her heart and lungs to two different people.
Her friends created a memorial photo slideshow for YouTube titled “Only the Good Die Young.”
