Jeanne Brown Crasto, 92, passed away peacefully on August 21, 2025 to be with the Lord Jesus
in Heaven.

Jeanne was born on July 30, 1933 in Union, MS. She graduated from Brookhaven High School
in 1951 and the University of Southern Mississippi in 1956. As a testament to her Christian faith,
Jeanne served for many years on the staffs of First Baptist Church of Brookhaven and Ridgecrest
Baptist Church.

Jeanne moved to the Home Place in Madison, MS in 2018 where she received excellent care and
made many new friends. The family would like to thank Sarah Beattie and the wonderful staff at
the Home Place for the lovingkindness extended to Jeanne for the last seven years of her life.

Affectionately known as "Mamaw Jeanne," she was devoted to her grandchildren and great
grandchildren, spending quality time with them baking her "Mamaw's tea cakes," playing board
games, and assembling puzzles. Her glowing smile and loving personality touched the lives of
everyone around her, as she devoted her life to helping others. She was loved and adored by her
family and will be dearly missed.

Jeanne is preceded in death by her parents George Brown, Sr. and Ila Brown of Brookhaven, as
well as her sister Marilyn Slay of Natchez. Survivors include her brother George Brown, Jr.
(Judy) of Birmingham, AL, son David Crasto (Beth) of Jackson, MS, son Darren Crasto (Isabel)
of Katy, TX, and daughter Amy Waggoner (Keith) of Mentor, OH, as well as nine grandchildren
and seven great grandchildren.

A visitation will be held at Brookhaven Funeral Home on August 31 from 1:00 - 1:30 PM, immediately
followed by graveside services at the Easthaven Cemetery at 2:00 PM where she will be buried next to her
mother and father.
