In Loving Memory of Christina Suzanne Brown
Sunrise: 12/15/1951 – Sunset: 10/10/2025

Christina Suzanne Brown passed away peacefully on October 10, 2025, her smile as radiant as the sunflowers she adored. Born in Chicago, IL, and a longtime resident of San Diego, CA, she lived a life full of color—dark and light—embracing every shade with grace, courage, and creativity.

An artist at heart, Christina found joy in every hue of yellow and painted her world with warmth. She was a survivor—overcoming a stroke, breast cancer, renal failure, and twenty years of dialysis—with unwavering strength and a spirit that never dimmed. Her laughter lit the room like morning light, and her love was a steady presence through every season.

She often found comfort in the lyrics of her favorite song, Imagine by John Lennon—a vision of peace and unity that reflected the way she lived and loved.

Christina is survived by her four adult children: Lennon Brown, Jason Brown, Torrey Brown, Shamiel Nuas and their families. Loving grandchildren: Kenshin Nuas, Kagomei Nuas and Kiraiya Nuas. Three sisters: Debbie McGraw, Mina Blair, and Heather Benavidez and their families—all of whom carry forward her legacy of resilience, joy, and radiant love.

“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.”
Her light lives on in every heart she touched.

Shamiel Nuas
It’s been a month since you left this world, and still, I find you everywhere, in a warm breeze across my face, in the bright white clouds after a storm, in the hummingbird that flutters in the wind, in the sunflower painting on my wall, in the songs we loved, in the perfume you wore, in the stuffed bears (Chrissie and Tina) that I hold tight each night, in the necklace I gave you for your birthday last year, in the quiet strength I carry forward each day. You taught me how to rise with grace, live with passion, love unconditionally and even though pain may linger, joy is promised. I miss your sweet voice, your beautiful green eyes looking back at me, holding your hand, your fierce resilience and spark. I will never forget your last breath, heartbeat and the gift you gave me when your Spirit passed through me in the most extraordinary way…thank you Mom. I trust you are in glorious Heaven, singing along to Somewhere Over the Rainbow and watching over all of us with your radiant smile. Mom, your light lives on in me, with my husband, your grandchildren, of course Noodle, and every generation to come. I love you more than words - like a sunflower reaching for heaven’s light, I reach for the Lord with you by his side.
