Mary Madolyn Brown

Mary Madolyn Brown, age 93, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on November 6, 2026, at The Inn at Summit Trail Assisted Living in Pataskala, Ohio.

A woman of Christian faith, Mary cherished her family and lived a life filled with love, laughter, music, and adventure. During her years living on Buckeye Lake in Ohio, she loved spending time on her boat, “The Proud Mary.” She spent 29 winters in Florida before eventually making the State her home for 14 years. While in Florida, Mary continued to enjoy life and especially loved singing with a band, sharing her love of music with others and making many wonderful memories and friendships. Her beloved cat, Penny, was also a special part of her life and remained her faithful companion for 11 years.

Mary eventually returned to Ohio, where she made her home at The Inn at Summit Trail.

Mary is survived by her four daughters, Debbie (Gus) O’Day, Brenda (Bill) Bremer, LaDonna (Kurt) Smith, and Charlotte (Mike) Branum; 10 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; and six great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ron Brown; daughter, Jacquie Leaser; grandson, Jimmy Berry; parents, James and Rosa Hunter; sister, Elizabeth Anderson; and brothers, Hillard and Bobby Hunter.

A private family memorial service will be held.

Mary’s daughters would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at The Inn at Summit Trail for their kindness and assistance in caring for their Mom over the past years. A special thank you is extended to Capital City Hospice for the compassionate and loving care provided during the final weeks of her life.
