Shirley Ann Eisenhauer Brown

Shirley Ann Eisenhauer Brown, 65, of Sandusky, passed away Tuesday, March 31st, 2026, at Stein Hospice following a courageous brief battle with Stage 4 Lung Cancer.

Shirley was born on December 12th, 1960, at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina. She grew up in Fostoria, Ohio, but later found her forever home in Sandusky, Ohio at the age of 16, coming to a Group Home. She was the epitome of what rehabilitation and transformation was! At 18 the Group Home offered her a job. That was the beginning of her 30-year career for the Erie County Juvenile Justice System, better known to most as the D.H. Over the years she was promoted to the Diversion Program, a C.O., then became Miss Ann from House Arrest.

Shirley loved HELPING people. The amount of love, knowledge, wisdom, and mothering she’s given to the community is commendable. Always quick to help people in need or crisis. Very Charitable. Having empathy for others is what she was big on. You never know someone’s situation. The other was ALWAYS try and look at the glass half full. Even in retirement she found herself working at the Renaissance House caring for God’s Special people. She loved Kimmy, John, George, and Allyson; and they loved her. She loved and cared for them as people. It was just in her.

Shirley leaves to cherish her memory her obsessions Alonda and Adryaan; her mother, Shirley Johnson; her nephew she helped raise, DeVille (Tiesha) Moore, and nephew Teveyon Eisenhauer; her bonus daughter Shina (Marcus) Clarke, bonus son Al Kirksey, and bonus daughter Rhonda McCann; her sister Peggy (Ike) Frierson, and brothers in love, Paul Brown and Roger Moore; cousin Delinda Ramsey, special niece Dainelle Kirkwood, Godchildren Alexis Mar’Ann Hicks, De’Yon Swain, and Kaeshawn Turner; her road dogs Tonya Turner and Deborah Robinson. They were there to the end; close friends Nyla Yarbrough, Lucie Payne, Brenda Mansor, and Lisa Nimrichter, and two of her beloved kids—she’s been there and loved over all these years—Louwann Light and Kari Gorman; her grandchildren Shawna, Shaniya, Steviona, Adryaan, Marcia, and Marcus V.; and a host of nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews, and one great-great nephew, Khalil.
