Our Staff
DONALD & NORMA BROWN: As our founders, Donald and Norma Brown have become icons within the community which we serve. Collectively, their service and continued dedication to Stoney Creek never end. Whether it is volunteering for the local “Meals on Wheels” or to ongoing support to numerous local children’s sports teams. Donald’s commitment to the community includes years as the local District Fire Chief of the volunteer fire department. After over 55 years of service to the area, Donald and Norma are still very much a driving force behind the Funeral Home and are held in the highest esteem by their family, the staff and thousands of others.

Together with his wife Jane he has maintained and exceeded the high standards that have made the name Donald V. Brown Funeral Home synonymous with dedication, value and service. Craig and Jane’s involvement with groups such as The Masonic Order, Stoney Creek Volunteer Fire Department, The Thrombophilia Society and the Winona Men’s Club have made them stand out as pillars in Stoney Creek and Area. Jane’s degree in Interior Decorating helps to enhance the warm atmosphere in the Funeral Home. Together, Craig and Jane continue to support many area youth sporting venues as is the firm’s past many years.

The needs of the less fortunate have benefited from his hours of volunteering at a local food bank. His involvement in area churches has also made Greg a well rounded member of our “team”.
