Judy Ann Brown, age 84, of Oxford, Ohio, passed away peacefully at her residence on December 9, 2025, surrounded by her family. Born on August 25, 1941, in Marietta, Ohio, she was the daughter of the late James Morgenstern and Madeline (Cronin) Morgenstern. Judy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ronald Duane Brown; her son, Nathaniel Alan Brown; her grandson, Kelson Ronald James Blodgett; and her brothers, Donald, Bob, Charles and Jon Morgenstern.

She was a dedicated and loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose family was the heart of her life. Judy is also survived by her sisters, Gwen Morgenstern, Helen Saxe, and Teresa Stewart, who will forever cherish her memory. A woman of grace, strength, and steady devotion, Judy spent her early career owning and operating her own beauty shop before later retiring as a Transportation Supervisor for both Talawanda Schools and New Miami Schools. She was known for her warm heart, her unwavering commitment to the people she loved, and the care she poured into every chapter of her life.

Mom, Thank you always for being there for us. We cannot fully express our gratitude in mere words, but we will try. You always put us first, and we will never forget that. You have given us the strength, courage, determination, and guidance to sustain us, and we appreciate all the sacrifices you made. You loved us unconditionally and let each of us succeed and, at times, fail. You never let us down and always listened without judgment. We, as your children, will never forget the life lessons you taught us and will continue to honor your legacy and strive to reflect your enduring selflessness for the remainder of our days. We love you with all our hearts, Melissa (Missy), Eric, and Angie.
