Leigh Christy Brown

Leigh Christy Brown, born on June 15th, 1972, in McAllen, Texas, left this world early but peacefully on January 8th, 2024, at her home in Huntsville, TX. Christy was a devoted mother, cherished daughter, sister to two pesky younger siblings, and a beloved member of her community. Christy is survived by her daughter, Cassie Brown, who is still the light of her life. She is remembered affectionately and loved devotedly by her parents, Joe and Lorayne Shaw, her father Daniel Brown, siblings Rocky and Sunni Brown, sisters-in-law Shannon Brown and Charla Shaw, brother-in-law Charles Hornung, stepbrothers Richard and Kevin Shaw, and her nieces and nephews Joseph, Jacob, and Justin Shaw, Hanna and Maggie Shaw, Jax and Charley Brown. Born and raised in Huntsville, Christy was a caring and compassionate soul. Throughout her life, she befriended people in the margins who might otherwise have been forgotten, and she worked as a caregiver, extending her warmth and support to those in need. Her dedication to her profession reflected Christy’s innate kindness and generosity. Her most significant role, however, was that of devoted mother to Cassie. Christy’s love knew no bounds, and her selflessness was evident in the countless ways she cared for and supported her beautiful daughter. Those who knew Christy will remember her for her keen observation of people, her shy laughter, occasional bouts of goofiness, her quiet warmth, and the compassion she brought into every room. She leaves a void that will be deeply felt by her friends and family, but Christy’s big heart and steadfast presence created a legacy of love that will live on. May her journey toward relief be filled with light, song, and companionship from her Native American angels, as her memory shines in the hearts of those who loved her. Visitation will be held at 10:00 am and a memorial service to celebrate Christy's life will begin at 11:00 am at Sam Houston Memorial Funeral Home on Thursday, January 11, 2024. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Mercy Ships at www.mercyships.org. Memorial condolences to the family may be made at www.shmfh.com.
