Carol Jean Brown
A Celebration of Life Service for Carol Jean Brown, 62, West Plains, Missouri, will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, June 13, 2020, at First Church of God, 1700 Wayhaven, West Plains, Missouri.
Ms. Brown passed away at 8:22 a.m., Monday, May 4, 2020 at Ozarks Medical Center.
She was born August 12, 1957, at West Plains, Missouri, to Curtis Neal Brown and Mildred Stone Brown. Carol worked in admitting and was a switch board operator for many years at Ozarks Medical Center and had developed friendships with many first responders. She had an amazing capacity to love, and did so with everything she had. Carol was always looking out for others and trying to help. Even though she never had children of her own, countless babies and littles, including so many nieces and nephews, were loved on by her over the years. Her family will miss her, but know without a doubt that she is running toward our Savior and singing in that Heavenly Choir with her precious Mama and Daddy, and brother. The family would like to thank all who have been so sweet to Carol thru the years; she loved you all.
She is survived by one brother, Curtis Brown and wife, Janet, Katy, Texas; one sister, Margaret Koontz and husband, Henry, Springfield, Missouri; and several nieces and nephews.
Her parents and one brother, Larry Brown, preceded her in death.
Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital or charity of choice and may be left at or mailed to Robertson-Drago Funeral Home, 211 W. Main, West Plains, MO 65775.

I thought the world of Carol and pray we’ll see her again soon…

So very sorry for your loss. What I will remember most about Carol is the laugh she always had growing up and the positive outlook on life. I know she is better off now having earned her Heavenly reward. She will truly be missed.

We played together in the back yard out-building for hours on Sunday afternoons when Carol would invite me over. What fond memories of those years being church family. Thankful for Jesus’ promise and Carol’s joy to be with Him. Prayers for Margaret & family and Curtis & family and all her dear friends.

Carol and I were friends in high school, and worked together in the ER at OMC. I will never forget her beautiful smile, and her wonderful sense of humor. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
