Ann Brown Obituary

Ann L. Nichols Brown

Lyndeborough, NH - Retired Genealogical Researcher and Author of Three Reference Volumes on 1850 Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, Census and One Reference Volume on Tombstones 1764-1980, Lyndeborough, New Hampshire

Ann L. Nichols Brown, 82, died Friday afternoon, December 13, 2024. Ann, daughter of Win and Lillian Nichols and older sister to Judith Nichols Wood, was born January 22, 1942 in Queens, New York. She attended Viewpoint High School in Amenia, NY and Endicott College in Beverly, Massachusetts.

Ann's passion was for her family. She researched and documented her family lineage tracing it all the way back to the Mayflower. This interest led her to join the Daughters of the American Revolution where she worked, attended conferences, and served on the Board for many years.

She enjoyed helping others in the facilitation of research and dedicated herself to helping them find that common thread that binds us all together.

Ann loved to explore cemeteries and explained this interest by quoting Benjamin Franklin. She put this quote of his in the front of her books -"These things ought not to be forgotten, for the benefit of our children and those that follow them, they should be recorded."

Ann enjoyed reading, movies, baking bread, watching cooking shows and tasting new foods as long as they weren't spicy. She loved painting her nails with designs particularly with holiday themes. She loved kittens and cashmere, clothing with leopard and tiger designs, coffee lattes, classic TV reruns, and anything British particularly Judi Dench and Queen Elizabeth. She was devoted to her dad and shared his enthusiasm for crossword puzzles, the Ed Sullivan show, Elvis, the Kingston Trio, and listening to the Oak Ridge Boys sing their biggest hit, Elvira.

Her final resting place will be next to her parents in the cemetery in South Lyndeborough, New Hampshire. She will be missed by her sister Judy, her sister's husband Michael, her niece Kim, her nephew, Michael, their spouses and children, and her devoted friends.
