Floyd Martin Brown, 86, of Bartlesville, was in Bartlesville Friday when he left this earth for the arms of Jesus Christ his Savior.
Floyd was born the youngest of nine children to Edwin Martin and Geneva
(Brown) Brown on Dec. 15, 1933 in Maysville, AR. At a young age Floyd and
family moved to Ochelata, OK, where he received his education with the Class
of 1951 and grew up in the Fire Baptized Holiness Church in Ochelata where
as a young man he felt the Lord’s calling and was saved. One day while Floyd
was sitting in his car, who should walk by but the soon-to-be love of his
life, Mary Ann Eastman. She noticed his long pair of legs stretching out of
an open car door and she caught his eye. They quickly fell head over heels
in love and were united in marriage on June 16, 1956, in San Antonio, TX,
where Floyd was stationed in the army. They briefly lived in Germany before
Floyd’s honorable discharge, then made their home in Bartlesville where they
raised and loved their three children. Once home in Oklahoma, Floyd started
his 42-year career with Reda Pump, providing for his family before retiring
in 1994.
Floyd loved the Lord deeply. He was sanctified in the Wesleyan Holiness
Alliance Church in Bartlesville where he was a charter member. Together
Floyd and his bride enjoyed singing special songs during services and were
active in the ministries of the church. They attended many camp meetings and
cherished the many friends they made over the years. They loved to travel
and took many memorable trips with their kids when they were young. In
recent years, they travelled to Indiana to visit with Jonathan and his
children. Back home, Floyd could oftentimes be found sitting out under his
pecan tree where he would try to shoot the pesky squirrels with his pellet
gun. Since he never hit one he trapped and released them at his
granddaughter Shara’s house so he could visit them. He never passed up a
bargain and was always happy to visit with friends.
Floyd and Mary Ann were each other’s faithful companions and they enjoyed 62
years of loving marriage together before she preceded him in death and
eternal salvation last October. Floyd missed her and he too will be dearly
missed by family and friends.
Floyd is survived by two children Rebecca King and Leroy of Caney, Jonathan
Brown and Carla of Whitestown, IN; daughter in law Sharon Brown of
Bartlesville; eight grandchildren, Dustin Worthington and Kayla, Neal King,
Brian King, Joshua Brown and Julianna, Shara Tate and Roy, Caleb Brown, Levi
Brown, and Liberty Brown; 12 great grandchildren, EJ, Adriel, Ryker, Tanner,
Austin, Dalton, Brianna, Austin, Dalena, Sharleese, Parker and Aryanna; and
one great great granddaughter Adylanna.
He is preceded in death by his wife Mary Ann, parents, son Dale Alan Brown, all of his siblings which were his three brothers, Daniel, Leon and Tom, and five sisters, Zelma, Hazel Dean, Mary Margaret, Nellie and Doris.
Floyd’s family will receive friends at the Davis Family Funeral Home – Walker Brown Chapel, 918-333-7665, 4201 Nowata Rd, Bartlesville, on Friday, from 6-8 p.m.
Visitation will also be held on Friday from 10-8. Funeral services will be held 2 pm on Saturday, at the Davis Family Funeral Home – Walker Brown Chapel.

DAVIS FAMILY
FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Mary Ann Brown, 80, of Bartlesville, was in Dewey Friday when
she left this earth for the arms of Jesus her Savior.
Mary Ann was born the daughter of Richard and Laura Quincy (Walton) Eastman on
Feb. 19, 1938, in Bartlesville. Growing up, her family split their time between
Ochelata and California depending on the season. As a young girl Mary Ann had a
little boy behind her in school who would pull the ribbons out of her braids,
much to her dismay. One day while the family visited his home she realized he
was using them to decorate his room. Mary Ann graduated from Ochelata High
School in 1955 and soon after, while walking to the Fire Baptized Church in
Ochelata, she noticed a long pair of legs stretching out of an open car door,
she introduced herself and quickly fell in love with Floyd Brown. They united in
marriage on June 16, 1956, in San Antonio, TX, where Floyd was stationed with
the army. They briefly lived in Germany before Floyd’s honorable discharge, then
made their home in Bartlesville. Once the children were older she took a job at
Bo Peep Day Care which she enjoyed for many years.
Mary Ann loved the Lord deeply. She was saved on April 5, 1959, at the Ochelata
Holiness Church and sanctified Sept 23, 1961, in the Bartlesville Holiness
Church. She was a charter member of her current church the Wesleyan Holiness
Alliance Church in Bartlesville. Mary Ann taught Sunday School for 40 years and
she enjoyed singing special songs with Floyd during services. They loved to
travel and took many memorable trips with their kids when they were young, and
in recent years to Indiana to visit with Jonathan and his children. They
attended many camp meetings and cherished the many friends they made over the
years. She tended a small garden with her favorite rose bush with strict orders
for Floyd not to mow and she cherished spending time with her grandchildren,
reading to them as they were curled up on the couch.
She is preceded in death by her parents, son Dale Brown and
sister Emma Jo Eastman.
