Bio

Charles Edwin Brown was born July 17, 1924, in Lenox, Iowa. He was one of six children born to Byron Brown and Eva (Shelman) Brown. Charlie grew up in the Lenox area attending school. He met his future wife, Lela Pearl Brown, when he went to her father's farm to help butcher a hog. Two and a half years later, on July 27, 1946, the couple was united in marriage in Atlantic, Iowa. To this loving union, three children were born, Donald, Michael and Amber. Charlie worked at the Lenox Locker in the 1940's and then as an Automotive and Transmission Specialist for the Ford Garage in Lenox until 1978, when he opened his own repair shop "Brown's Fix-It Shop" at their home on Walnut Street in Lenox. Charlie repaired all kinds of machinery including mowers and vehicles. Charlie and Pearl lived at the same residence in Lenox for 65 years. Left to cherish his memory are his two sons, Donald Brown and wife Darla of Ridgeway, Missouri; Michael Brown and wife Shirley of Morrison, Colorado; one daughter, Amber Abernathy and husband Randy of New Hampton, Missouri; a sister, Annabell Jones of Mount Ayr, Iowa; six grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; along with many other family members and friends. Preceding Charles in death are his parents, Byron and Eva Brown; his loving wife Pearl on July 21, 2011; one brother, Virgil Brown; three sisters, Veda Miller, Marcella Briner and Lorraine who died giving birth to her child; and one granddaughter, Krystal Brown. by Ritchie Funeral Home-Lenox, IA, USA 2-20-2013
