Brandi Jomai Kann Coburn, 40, of New Haven, CT went home to be with the Lord at
12:12 on January 14, 2015 after a battle with cancer. Born in Chambersburg, PA on July
29, 1974 to Rand and Sally Kann, she was a 1992 graduate of Big Spring High School in
Newville PA and received a BA from Washington and Jefferson College in 1996. She
received a MA in International Studies from University of Connecticut in 1998. She
then served as a missionary with Campus Crusade for Christ for 13 years in Providence,
Asia, and New Haven. She was married in 2007 to Matthew Coburn, and they joyfully
welcomed Eli in 2008 and Katie in 2010. Her life was devoted to following Christ.
Compassionate, gentle, gracious, kind, she constantly made those around her the focus of
her attention, particularly those who might need a little more love and grace. She poured
out her life in ministry to others, a living example of the apostle’s words, “sharing not
only the gospel but our lives, because you had become so dear to us.” A caring friend,
a willing listener, a compassionate counselor, those who shared a cup of tea with her
never failed to come away blessed and encouraged. She traveled extensively, loved
children, and served those in need. She will be remembered by friends world-wide. Her
loyalty to and love for her family blessed us deeply, and we will miss her dearly. Brandi
is survived by her husband, Matthew Morey Coburn, their children Elliot Wolfe Coburn
and Katrina Beecher Coburn, her parents Rand and Sally Kann of Newville, PA, brother
Kristopher Kann and wife Erica of Broadway, VA, and many other loving extended
family members.
Brandi’s funeral service will be held Monday, January 19, 2015 at 4pm at Trinity Baptist
Church, 630 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Viewing will be Sunday, January 18
from 2-5 pm at Trinity Baptist Church. Brandi will have a second funeral service in her
hometown on Thursday, January 22, 2015 at 1 pm at Newville First Church of God, 475
Shippensburg Road, Newville, PA. Interment will follow in the family plot in Newville
Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Brandi Coburn Memorial
Fund at Trinity Baptist Church which will support the ministries that Brandi loved.
