Legrand Davis "Brownie" Brown, Sr., 91, of Mullins passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 12, 2020 at MUSC Marion Healthcare. He was born in Marion County on December 18, 1928, the son of the late Burnie Leroy Brown and Annie Louise Alford Anderson.

Brownie was manager of Liberty Life Insurance Company in Sumter, Florence, Marion and Mullins for over 37 years. During his last few years with Liberty Life, he opened "Patsy's Antiques in Mullins, where he shared his passion with antiques for the next 32 years. He never met a stranger and enjoyed meeting and conversing with anyone he came in contact with on a daily basis. After antiques, his second greatest passion was his yard. Anyone who passed his home would know this, as he could be found working in his yard, around the pond and in his garden.

Brownie served in the National Guard, was a member of the First Baptist Church for over 60 years. He was a past member of the Marion County School Board and an active member of the Mullins Recreation Department dedicating loyal service, devotion and support to the youth of the community. He was a founding member of the "Baby Aucs" recreational teams.

In addition to his parents, Brownie was predeceased by two sisters, Margie Brown Altman and Betty Brown Miles and two brothers, Bob and Francis Brown.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 68 years, Barbara Jones Brown; his eldest son, L.D. Brown, Jr. "Davy" and his wife, Suzanne Rasheed Brown of Richmond, Virginia and his youngest son, Donald L. Brown "Donnie" and his wife, Patsy Gleason Brown of Mullins; four grandchildren, Jennifer Brown Flaherty (Matt) of Raleigh, William Christopher Brown (Meghan) of Los Angeles, California, Laura Ashleigh Brown Lynch (Scot) and Kayla Elizabeth Brown Sessions (Randall) both of Mullins; seven great-grandchildren, Jones, Dylan, Grayson, Jasper, Banks, Waylon and Chloe; two brothers, Burnette Brown of Jacksonville, Florida and Paul Brown (Gloria) of Lake City and many nieces and nephews.
