Patricia Ann Brown

Patricia Ann Brown, of Dayton, Ohio, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on October 19, 2026, in Dayton at the age of 87. Born on March 4, 1939, in Dayton, Patricia lived a life centered on the simple and lasting blessings of family, faith, and home. She leaves behind a memory that will be cherished by all who knew and loved her.

Patricia graduated from West Carrolton High School in 1957. She later worked at Woody's Market for several years. In the everyday moments of life, she found joy in watching TV and, above all, in spending time with her family. Those closest to her knew how deeply she loved being with them, and she considered her family her greatest pride. That devotion was the heart of her life and the legacy she leaves behind.

She is survived by her daughters Sandy Brown and Scott; Candy Massie and Butch; her son Andy Brown and Shannon; her grandchildren Nolan, Ashley, Angelica, Hannah, and Mady; her sister Nancy Schmidt; her brother Edwin High; and her sister Diane Newman. Patricia’s family was the center of her world, and the love she shared with them will continue to live on in the stories they tell, the memories they hold, and the bond they carry forward together.

She was preceded in death by her son, Randy Brown; her mother and father, Lavora and Charles High; and her siblings Sharon Robinson, Sonja Schmidt, and Charles “Bub” High, Jr.
