Lee Brown Obituary
Kaleva, Michigan
12/29/1958 - 11/14/2025
Lee Anne Brown, age 66, of Kaleva, Michigan died on November 14, 2025, at her home on Chief Lake.
She was born on December 29, 1958, in Detroit. Lee was the eldest of three daughters of Donald and Marjorie (Turin) Schires of Kaleva. She spent more than a decade driving the bus for Dial-A-Ride in Manistee, spreading laughter and joy to anyone who needed a ride. She spent much of her time in nature on her daily walks, searching for unique rocks and beach glass along Lake Michigan and crafting jewelry to sell at local art fairs.
Lee is survived by her daughters, Erin Brown and Anna Brown; her sisters, Donna Christesen (Schires) and Mary Hughes (Schires). A Celebration of Life will take place in early summer, 2026.
The family has entrusted funeral arrangements with Oak Grove Funeral Home & Cremation Center of Manistee.

Lee, the most kind and caring person. Been a friend for years. School and throughout life. Would see her on her nightly walks. Loved seeing all her rock piles. She has a lot of them. I´d sure like to know how many miles she walked every day. You will be very well missed.

Lee and I were roommates at NMC back in the late '70's. Lee was such a creative person - always drawing or painting something beautiful. She was full of energy and loved to have fun. Sending lots of love and strength to her family. She will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Lee passing. Lee, Donna and I were friends in high school. Had lots of fun and good times, many good memories. To Donna and Mary losing a sister is a great loss and is something you just can´t process I know, but it can happen in time. You are in my prayers.
