Joann "Jan" Elizabeth Brown Obituary (1932 - 2021)

On January 26, 2021, Joanne Elizabeth Brown went home to our Lord. At her side were her husband of 66 years, Roy and his three daughters, Kathy Morrison of Nashville, TN, Karen Andrade of Lakewood, OH and Kelley Brown of Canton, OH. Jan was born April 24, 1932 in Cincinnati, Ohio to her late parents, Merrit L. and Mary (Clawson) Tittle. She received her music education degree from Kent State University and taught several years in public schools. She spent many years performing, accompanying, and directing school and church choirs while, at the same time, teaching private piano lessons. But her greatest joy was being a wife, mother and grandmother. She was an exceptional seamstress and enjoyed making clothes for her family. For thirteen years, she and Roy led music and worship services for the Oatmeal Ministry at Crossroads United Methodist Church (formerly Church of the Savior, Canton, OH). This ministry provides breakfast every Sunday morning for upwards of 150 needy members of the community. She and Roy have been active members of this church for 46 years. She is survived by her sister, Mary Lee Enders of Florida. She is also survived by five grandchildren and five great grandchildren: Jessica Morrison, her wife, Anne Richardson of Amman, Jordan and their two children, Nora and Clyde; Landen Morrison, his wife, Randi Ferguson of Nashville TN and their two sons, Mitchell and Jasper; Patrick Morrison of Columbus, OH and his daughter, Gwen; Michael Andrade of Columbus, OH and Chris Andrade of Lakewood, OH. Calling hours are scheduled for Saturday, February 13th from 12 - 2 PM with a celebration of life service immediately following at 2 PM. The service will be officiated by Dr. David Oliver. In lieu of flowers, you may send contributions to the Crossroads United Methodist Church (Oatmeal Ministry) in memory of Jan Brown at 120 Cleveland Ave. S.W., Canton, OH 44702.
