Lisha Brown Obituary

Lisha Mixon Brown
1960 - 2025
"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more Revelation 21:3,4
Lisha Mixon-Brown was born June 9, 1960, and passed on July 5, 2025, at the youthful age of 65. She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to Fletcher Mixon and Georgina Coleman-Mixon. This beautiful baby bundle was the 6th of 7 children that her parents brought home to their union where they resided in Kenner, Louisiana.
As time passed Lisha's family moved to Reserve, La where she found her footing and became a cosmetologist and loved her profession. Following in her oldest sister's Deborah's footsteps, Lisha loved making people look beautiful because she was very much into fashion herself, always loving to look good.
She would always laugh at the times when she was just starting out doing hair and would mess up. Her Mom gave her some sage advice. She followed her advice and was successful. Lisha admired her Mother so much that she told her mother, "Mama I want to be just like you when I grow up." Well, she walked like her when she was younger, talked like her and looked like her except for their skin tone and everyone would tell her that and she would flash that big, beautiful smile and be so proud of it.
Everyone knew Lisha as a person full of laughter and always a big smile. Her cousin, Troy Miles, used to tell her all the time, "Lisha you can see your lips coming before I see you because you love to hug and kiss people which was true. Every niece and nephew got a hug and kiss from Auntie Lisha and Uncle Lonnie because they were family oriented and loved hugging and kissing the friends as well.
Eventually she married the love of her life here in LaPlace, on September 4, 2002. Lionel Christopher Joseph Brown was her soulmate. They were the perfect match! He would always call her Lucy because he always said, "like the show, "I Love Lucy"! Lisha was a character and with her and Lonnie together they were the perfect dynamic duo. When her other half died, she was heartbroken until the day she closed her eyes, she missed him dearly.
Lisha was especially fond of Kayla P. She never had kids herself but actually thought Kayla was hers. Yes, all the family and close friends knew she was a bit cheeky, but she meant well. She spoiled Kayla so much that the older cousins and her big brother didn't want Kayla P around them and Auntie Lisha would come into the room with hands on her hips fussing on Kayla's behalf, even though Kayla was terrorizing everyone.
Most importantly for Lisha, like her Mother, she never met a stranger. Everyone who Lisha would encounter she would tell them about her faith. Which is why her favorite scripture is quoted above, Revelation 21: 3, 4. She loved people and she wanted them to know about Jehovah, the God she loved and served and she wanted to help them to learn about how Jesus died in order for us to be able to live forever on earth and receive a resurrection of our loved ones.
We laughed, we argued, we cried, we giggled, we hurt. But in the end, we all knew who we were. WE ARE FAMILY! That's just the dynamics of a large family. No one ever needed to remind us of that because it's what Jehovah put together and what our parents used to instill in us. It never failed; no subject would ever be too sore for our family to go back and laugh about at a later time. And guess who would be laughing the loudest, the hardest and using demonstrative exaggeration to show how everything went down, Lisha Mixon-Brown. And no one else can do it like her.
Lisha was preceded in death by her husband, Lionel C. Brown, her parents, Fletcher and Georgiana Mixon, her oldest sister, Deborah Moseman, her Oldest brother, James E. Mixon, and her second to oldest brother, Albert (Junnyboy) Mixon. Survivors include her sisters: Marie Mixon-Bazile of Houston, Tx., Ava (Prudence) Felton (Tony) of LaPlace, La., brother, Mickey Mixon of Dallas, Tx., Merian (Mil) Mixon-Frank (Wallace) of LaPlace, La.
She leaves to mourn a host of nieces and nephews that she dearly loved from both Mixon and Brown family, never making distinctions. She leaves to mourn her close cousins, who were like siblings to her and treasured the dear friends who she would live with in Paradise forever.
