Mary Jane Brannan Brown

Mary Jane “Brannan” Brown, age 101, of Louisville, KY and formerly of Talbott, TN passed away on November 11, 2019. She was an amazing lady! She never met a stranger and could strike up a conversation anywhere. She always put everyone else first. Even at the nursing home, she would try to give her food to the other patients and aides because she thought they didn’t have enough. She never complained even when she was hurting because she didn’t want to be a bother. Her mother died when she was 14 and she raised 4 younger brothers and sisters and she never complained about that. She was one of a kind and loved intensely by so many people. She had many friends in TN, Louisville, and IN. They are ALL hurting today! Preceded in death by her husband, Elvin Brown, parents, Isaac Walter and Mary Judith Talbott Brannan, son, Gary Brown; and several brothers and sisters. She is survived by her daughter, Karen “Judy” Cosson and husband David of Louisville, KY; son, Elvin “Sonny” Brown, Jr. and wife Pauletta of Florida; grandchildren, Angie, Michael, Stacy, Greg and Jeff; several great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild; sister, Dorothy Hackley of Stanford, KY; and several nieces and nephews. Family will receive friends from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm on Friday, November 15, 2019 at Farrar Funeral Home. Funeral service will follow at 7:00 p.m. with Rev. William Bradley officiating. Family and friends will gather at 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning at Farrar Funeral Home to proceed to Jefferson Memorial Gardens for an 11:00 a.m. graveside interment service.
