Arthur Hugh Brown (Art) 88 of Indiana went to be with his beloved Lord and Savior on Friday, February 10, 2023, while at Forbes Hospital in Monroeville, PA. Born April 9, 1934, in Aultman, PA, he was the son of Thomas Porter Brown and Bessie Irene (Coy) Brown.
Art graduated from Elders Ridge High School in 1952. During the Korean War he joined the US Army and served 3 years in Germany.
After honorable discharge from the Army, Art became a salesman. With his charming personality he successfully sold cars, trucks, and mobile homes for McGill Motors of Indiana.
In 1959 Art married Marilyn Y. Brown with whom he spent 63 years building the memories that are sustaining Marilyn at this time of loss.
Loving to hunt, Art became a founding member of Little Mahoning “Country Club” Camp in Rochester Mills, PA. He and his group of friends spent many hours of close fellowship as they gathered each hunting season to try their luck at getting the “big one”. Sunday afternoons were family days at camp. The children loved spending Sunday afternoons riding their motorized vehicles and playing games together.
Art served his community 22 years in the Indiana Volunteer Fire Company. He loved to fish, golf, play tennis, and cheer on the Steelers. He loved being a blood donor, contributing when he could.
He flew the American flag the past 31 years, very proud and happy when he could see it waving outside his window or from his patio where he loved to sit.
Art is survived by his wife, one brother Thomas Porter Brown, Jr and wife Kathy of Rossville, GA, a son James Arthur (Elizabeth) Brown, a daughter Geraldine Y. Pella, and daughter Laura Ann Eshnuk, 7 grandchildren and spouses, 7 great grandchildren and one on the way.
Art was preceded in death by his parents, also by a son-in-law and grandson in 2011.
There will be no viewing. A celebration of Art’s life will be held at Graystone Evangelical Presbyterian Church on Saturday, February 25, 2023. Family will welcome friends from 10:00am until the time of celebration at 11 am in the church sanctuary
