Cynthia Anne Jozsa

With heavy hearts yet deep gratitude for the life she shared with us, we announce the passing of Cynthia Anne Jozsa, who departed this world on August 12, 2026. Born on October 24, 1952, in Detroit, she was the daughter of Donald and Mary (Dovelle) Josza. Cynthia was a beacon of unwavering love and quiet strength whose devotion to family touched all who had the honor of knowing her.

Cynthia’s journey began in her beloved hometown, where she nurtured lifelong connections and began weaving the rich tapestry of memories that she would share with so many. A proud graduate of Riverview High School, Cynthia approached every chapter of her life with grace, humility, and a deep sense of responsibility toward those she loved most.

She found her greatest calling as a dedicated homemaker, pouring her heart into creating a home that radiated warmth, acceptance, and joy. The walls of her home not only echoed with laughter and gentle encouragement but also stood as a testament to the countless small acts of love that Cynthia bestowed daily upon her family.

To Cynthia, nothing brought more joy than spending time with her family. Whether it was an afternoon gathered around the kitchen table, a simple walk together, or quiet moments shared in affectionate conversation, these were the threads that formed the fabric of her legacy—one stitched lovingly across decades and generations.

Her life was blessed with the love of her children: Steffanie (John Yost) Jozsa, Angela Cojocar, and Brett Cojocar, each of whom carries forward her values and gentle spirit. Cynthia’s devotion as a mother was mirrored in the joy she felt as a grandmother, cherishing her grandchildren Abby and Logan, and nurturing their dreams and laughter.

Cynthia’s nurturing heart extended beyond her role as a mother and grandmother. She was a beloved sister to Mark (Pam) Jozsa, Diane (Tim) Huddleston, and Debi (Greg) Vreeland, each of whom will miss her warmth, wisdom, and the gentle constancy of her love.

While words can scarcely capture the depth of Cynthia’s impact, her light lives on in the hearts of those she loved. Her legacy endures in every embrace shared, every lesson taught with patience, and in the enduring bonds of her family. Cynthia’s memory, woven into stories and sustained by love, will continue to comfort and inspire.

Rest peacefully, Cynthia. Your love and kindness will forever remain our guiding light.

Ray D. Frndak

Ray D Frndak long time resident of Macomb County MI, died Tuesday August 11, 2026. He made it to the ripe old age of 77.

Setting the stage for his arrival are his brother Tyler and his parents Sarah and Raymond. He leaves the writing of this to his sisters Terrilynne and Paulamarie. Also adding their two cents are his nephews Daniel, Nicholas, Zachary and Ryan and his niece Madison.

Ray enjoyed reminiscing with his classmates from Marysville High School graduating class of ’67. He was sorry he could not make the last reunion since he was “an inmate” at the nursing home in Riverview for the last few years.

Ray worked for many years at Chrysler where he forged several lifelong friendships. These friends have shared “Ray” stories with the family, expressing gratitude they have for his influence, saying they would not be where they are in life with out Ray.

Although the time he spent in Colorado Springs wasn’t his favorite time of his life, he did serve his country in the Air Force and developed his passion-his photography. Although some of his later work was not suitable for all audiences, he documented a plethora of family trips, weddings, landscapes and a wide array of musicians on film.

We know there are aspects of his numerous trips around the sun that have been overlooked in this brief synopsis of his life. The memories will be cherished by all who knew him. Riase a glass, hold your breath and bid him a fond farewell. See you on the flip side.

Donny "Ray" Brown

Donny “Ray” Brown, 83, of Deer Park, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday morning, August 12, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.

Born on March 4, 1943, in Teaberry, Kentucky, Ray was the son of the late John and Oma (Hamilton) Brown. In his youth, he moved with his family to Gibraltar, Michigan, and graduated from Trenton High School in 1961. He later attended the Detroit Carpenters Apprenticeship School, beginning a lifelong career in carpentry. Ray worked throughout downstate Michigan for many years, building with skill, dedication, and pride until his retirement.

A seasonal visitor to Deer Park for years, Ray purchased a cabin and, in 2001, made the area his permanent home. He poured his craftsmanship into remodeling and expanding his home, creating a place filled with warmth and character. An avid outdoorsman, Ray found his greatest joy in the simple beauty of nature—whether hunting, fishing, or simply taking in the quiet peace of the woods. His loyal companion, a dog affectionately named “Bob,” was never far from his side, sharing in countless adventures and moments alike.

Ray was preceded in death by his parents; his step-son, David Stringer; and siblings Bonnie Brown, Jeffrey Brown, Diane Luzcynski, and Larry Brown.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Patricia (Jung) Brown, whom he married on May 30, 1981, in Allen Park; his step-son William Stringer of Deer Park; sons Scott Brown of Riverview and Mark (Melodi) Brown of Brownstown; daughter Lora Banwell of Southgate; ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, all of whom he cherished deeply; siblings Bill (Rhonda) Brown of South Rockwood, James Brown of Woodhaven, Delores (Don) Parmenter of Flat Rock, Geri (Rob) McDuffy of South Rockwood, and John Brown of Michigan; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Per his wishes, cremation has taken place and Beaulieu Funeral Home in Newberry has assisted the family with such arrangements.

A memorial gathering will be held in Ray's honor on Saturday, September 12, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Allen Park Chapel of The Martenson Family of Funeral Homes located at 10915 Allen Road, 48101. The memorial service will be held that same evening at 5:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
