Channon Leigh Brown was born April 30, 1989, in Terre Haute, Indiana as the third and youngest child of Charles and Scotia Brown.  Channon's was a "Life well loved" before departing on Thursday, July 7, 2022. As the baby of the family, Channon prided herself on reminding her family that "she was the favorite!"  Her sweet spirit always moved her to make sure others needs were met.  With a heart fully committed to expressing her love and caring for those in her life, Channon was indeed everyone's favorite!

A member of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church, Channon confessed her belief in Christ at an early age.  Channon was an active member of the Baptist Youth Fellowship (BYF)and the youth choir.  Channon worked with St. Paul's Soup kitchen and Thanksgiving Basket giveaways.

Channon was committed to advancing educational opportunities in her role as Academic Advisor at Ivy Tech Community College. Understanding that while academic advising was a major part of her responsibilities, Channon worked hard to provide support and foster relationships with those students she supervised.  She was committed to their success.

Channon loved painting, decorating, photography, cooking and spending time with family and friends.  She enjoyed buying and repurposing antiques.  Her passion for gifting others with her beautiful floral designs brightened our spirits.  Channon had a smile that would light up the room when she entered.  Channon was funny, silly, insightful and caring.
