Mrs. Ann Elizabeth Forrest Brasher, 91, of Leverett, passed away peacefully on Monday, January 26, 2026, surrounded by her three children. She was born August 11, 1934, in Sumner to Saunders Doty Forrest and Mary Lee Phelps Forrest.

Ann was an amazing and loving mother, Granny, and Great-Grandmother who cherished her family deeply. She was a faithful member of Paynes Baptist Church for more than sixty years, until her health no longer allowed her to attend. Through every trial and season of illness, she never lost her faith and remained a true inspiration to all who knew her. Ann kept her eyes fixed on heaven and looked forward to the day she would be with her Heavenly Father.
