Anna Jo was born in Satartia, Mississippi on November 15, 1932, to William Cleveland Brown, Sr. and
Josephine Ray Brown. She is survived by her husband of 69 years, Robert W. Mashburn, Sr., daughters
Sandra Brooks of Vicksburg, Lou Ann Mellon (Richard) of Bolton, and son Robert W. "Bobby" Mashburn,
Jr. (Janet) of Bolton. She is also survived by seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She was
preceded in death by her sister Lena Maugans, brother William "Bill" Brown, and son-in-law John
Brooks.
Anna Jo was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend and was actively involved in her church and
community. She worked alongside her husband at Robert Mashburn Farms as Secretary/Treasurer and
was always happy to set an extra plate when he showed up with many an unexpected guest at lunch.
During their marriage, Anna Jo and Robert traveled extensively throughout the United States and
abroad with their close friends C.D. and Mary Glynn Lancaster of Bolton.
The family would like to thank all those who cared for Anna Jo, especially Tracy Ragus and Willie Mae
Tucker, who helped her on a daily basis the last year of her life.
Memorials in her memory may be made to Memorial United Methodist Church, Salvation Army, or a
charity of your choice.
