Annette Marie Brown

Annette Marie Brown, 66, of Red Wing, Minn., died Tuesday, July 21, 2026 at Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minn. She was born on December 18, 1959 in Spooner, Wisc. to Ralph and Pearl (Barton) Andrea. Annette was one of the most loving and unselfish people this world has ever known. She was a devoted wife to her husband, Tim, for 45 years, and the most amazing mother to her two children, Brooke and Tim Jr. She was also a proud and loving grandmother to TJ, Kenley, and Jayde. Family was everything to Annette. She loved spending time with the people she loved most, playing bingo, visiting with her friends at the casino, playing board games with Brooke, and sitting out on the deck playing Yahtzee with Tim. She also loved her two dachshunds, Charlie and Peanut, who were always by her side or curled up in the chair with her. They were a special part of her life and brought her so much happiness. Annette had a heart of gold and was loved by so many people. She always put others before herself and would do anything for the people she loved. To her family, she was the heart of everything—the most amazing mom, wife, and grandmother anyone could ask for. She will be deeply missed, but her love and memory will live on forever in the hearts of everyone who knew her. We love you, Mom. Forever and always.

Annette is survived by her loving husband of 45 years, Tim Brown; children, Tim (Ashley) Brown Jr. and Brooke Brown; grandchildren, TJ, Kenley, and Jayde; sister, Cindy Andrea; brothers, Tony Andrea and Ralph Andrea Jr.; niece, Rachel (Mike) Leverty; and great niece Stella.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Pearl Andrea; father-in-law, Willis Brown; mother-in-law Beverly Brown; and her favorite dog, Harley.

A Celebration of Annette’s Life will take place from 4p.m. to 7p.m. on Friday, August 14, 2026, at Mahn Family Funeral Home, Bodelson-Mahn Chapel in Red Wing.
