Obituary of Patricia Brown

Per the family's request, we ask you to please wear a mask. If you do not have one, one will be provided for you. Patricia Brown entered eternal life upstairs with the Big Man on September 23, 2020 at her home in Licking, MO she was born on February 2, 1953, in St. Louis, MO. Patricia was daughter to the late Yvonne Lorainne (Smith) Craden of Stella, TN, and Lawrence Raymond Craden and Mary Craden of St. Louis, MO. Patricia is survived by her husband and best friend Donald Wayne Brown of Licking, MO. Patricia, aka Pat, Patty, Mother, Mom, Ma, Mama, Momma, Mommy, Grandma, Gramma, Gamma, G-ma, or Red to family and friends was the Best Mom the entire Universe to her daughter Debbi (Robbers) and her husband Larry Dryer of Licking, MO; her sons, Jim and Angela (Parker) Robbers of Licking, MO, Terry and Kerry (Simmons) Robbers of St. Charles, MO, and Joe and Nicole (Lowery) Robbers of St. Charles, MO; she was a second Mom to Greg and Sunshine Brown of Licking, MO and Sheila Brown of Springfield, MO. She had an abundance of grandkids and great-grandkids that she loved and that loved her more than anything. All you would have to do is ask any of her grandkids Jimmy Lee, Amanda, Tabitha, Cheyenne, Alexis, Bella, Reagan, Joey, Katelin, Easton, Matthew, Emily, Kellie, Brad, Liz, Angel, or any of her great grandkids Emma, Issak, Eian, Hayden, Wesley, Harley, Paisley, Georgia, Berkley, Benjamin, Cloey, or Aubree and they would tell you exactly the same. Patricia was met with a huge celebration at the top of the stairway to heaven by her parents, Yvonne Lorainne Craden, Larry Raymond Craden, and Mary Craden; her brothers and sisters, Thomas “Tommy” P. Craden, Debra “Debbie” Jean Craden, Frank “Frankie” H. Craden, and Yvette Florence Craden; her stepson David Wayne Brown; her grandchild Casey Brandon Brown; and her great-grandchild, Hunter Michael Robbers, and so many other dearly departed family and friends with Patsy Cline playing “Crazy” on the main stage. As a child, Patricia would fight anyone who picked on her siblings. Larry and Pat Craden of Crystal City, MO and her sister, Dorothy (Dottie) and Tom Weldon of Georgia are still grateful for that to this day. Patricia was a fighter for good and happiness for everyone in her life. She continued fighting to the day it was time for her celebration. A reunion with family and friends who she had not seen in so long. A reunion to celebrate the life of an amazing woman who touched the heart of everyone she had ever come in contact with. An amazing woman who, in the middle of a fight for her life, cared more if you had eaten enough on your two-and-a-half-hour drive to the house, then if she had eaten that day. She was so much more than amazing in everything she did. She is a Wife, a Mom, a Grandma, a Great Grandma, a Sister, an Aunt, a Cousin, and a friend who will be deeply missed, but celebrated in every second of our lives. We just hope she saves a dance for us. A visitation for Patricia will be held Monday, September 28, 2020 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Fox Funeral Home, 128 S. Main St., Licking, MO.
