Janet Ann Brown

Janet Ann Brown (nee Lavy), of Lake Saint Louis, MO, passed away Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at the age of 79. Loving wife of Ben Brown; beloved daughter of the late Alfred and Lucille Lavy; devoted mother of Jim (Tina) Brown, Stephen (Stacey) Brown, and Jeremy Brown; cherished grandmother of Andrew Brown, Nicholas Brown, and Jacob (Erin) Schwede; treasured great-grandmother of Ryder Schwede and Waylon Schwede; sister of Daniel (Judy) Lavy.

Janet was born and raised in St. Charles, where she spent the majority of her life and considered it her true home. A graduate of St. Charles High School in 1963, she later attended Sanford Brown Business School. Janet went on to work for over 30 years at True Manufacturing in O'Fallon.

She had a deep love for the outdoors, often enjoying camping trips, and was a passionate Cardinals fan with a strong appreciation for baseball. One of her dreams was to visit all the national parks. While she didn't quite achieve that goal, she and Ben did accomplish visiting all 50 states.

Janet was an active and beloved member of her community. At Zion Lutheran Church, she taught Sunday School, served as a youth group chaperone for 15 years, and played a key role in organizing and establishing the new school library.

Janet was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Memorials may be made in Janet's name to Zion Lutheran Cemetery Fund or to the charity of your choosing.
