Candy Brown Christian, 74, of Lake Charles, passed away on Tuesday June 14, 2022 in the comfort of her son’s home in Moss Bluff, surrounded by her loving family.
Candy was a native of Fannin, Texas, where she was the seventh of eight children born to Lee Calvin and Edith Perdue Brown. Her parents were sharecroppers who raised and harvested mainly cotton while moving from town to town. With little formal education, Candy and her late husband, Don, owned and operated furniture stores in the Lake Charles Area for a number of years. She had a generous heart, always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need, without question. Her greatest joys were her family and travel. She especially enjoyed cruises and traveling to coastal destinations.
In addition to her parents, Candy was preceded in death by her five sisters and two brothers, Jean, Mary Jo, Wilma, David, Martha, Bobbie, and Jimmy.
She leaves to honor and cherish her memories, her son, John Christian of Lake Charles; sister-in-law, true sister of her heart, Bonnie Brown of Fort Worth, Texas; three grandchildren, Daniel Christian, Brandi Christian Porche, and Sam Chapman; three great-grandchildren, Xander, Elijah, and Alice; numerous nieces, nephews and extended family of her heart.
