Leonne Brown, 79, of Logansport, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, October 30, 2026, at Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Carmel.
Born on January 9, 1947, in Logansport, she was the daughter of the late Leo N. and Meredith Jean (Finfrock) Brown.
Leonne graduated from Logansport High School before continuing her education at University of Cincinnati, graduating from Indiana State University. She spent many years teaching at St. Joseph Catholic School, where she shared her knowledge and dedication with generations of students. She later earned her CPA certification and worked for Leo Brown Construction Company as an office manager for over forty years.
A loving sister and aunt, Leonne cared deeply for her family and treasured the time she spent with those she loved. She held a special place in the hearts of her nieces and nephews who affectionately referred to her as Aunt Lee and one of the very best aunts. She enjoyed sewing, traveling, her rescued cats, trivia, Trivial Pursuit, watching Rocky movies, and baking holiday goodies. Thanksgiving was a special holiday favorite spent with family hosting the traditional Brown family ‘turkey bowl’ football game at her home, providing refreshments at halftime for over sixty years. Above all, Leonne will be remembered for her caring nature, the love she shared with her family, and the wonderful care she provided to others.
She was a lifelong member of All Saints Parish, participating in the liturgical choir, Lady of Grace Study Club, and Altar Rosary Society.
