Gerald L. Brown, Sr. and his wife Mary, founded Brown Funeral Home in July 1926. They prospered the funeral home through the Stock Market Crash of 1929, the Great Depression, the dust Bowl and the Second World War.
The second generation of family was Gerald L., JR. and Patsy Brown. Gerald, Jr. was born upstairs, above the funeral home in the family residence. He provided both the ambulance and the funeral service to the community.
In 1971 Joe Cummings married Becky Brown, daughter of Gerald and Patsy. Joe and Becky are the third generation of family. Both are Enid natives and Becky has been at the funeral home since birth. Joe joined the funeral home in 1976.
Gerald L. Brown, Jr. died in 1983 and Patsy retired in 1991. At that time Joe and Becky purchased the funeral home.
Shaun Cummings, Joe and Becky’s son, has joined the firm. Shaun is the great- grandson of Gerald Brown, Sr. and the fourth generation of the family at the funeral home.
We are extremely proud and happy about this very positive history of the funeral home and our family. If you have any questions about this or preplanning a funeral service, please call us at 237-5432.
