Ann was born on Aug. 11, 1934, in Sumner, the daughter of the late Saunders Doty Forrest and the late Mary Lee Phelps Forrest. She 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 60 years until her health no longer allowed her to attend.
Through every trial and season of illness, Ann never lost her faith and remained a true inspiration to all who knew her. She kept her eyes fixed on heaven and looked forward to the day she would be with her Heavenly Father.
In addition to her parents, her husband, Ernest Barton Brasher; sister, Mary Belle Moore, and three brothers: Edward Forrest, Charles Forrest and Reginald “Bubba” Forrest, preceded Ann in death.
Survivors include, her daughter, Pat Little (Dennis) of Grenada; two sons, Alan Brasher (Amy) of Enid and Brent Brasher (Gabriela) of Holcomb; one brother, Jimmy Forrest of Plano, Texas; eight grandchildren: Lance Mitchell, Libby Cunningham, Laci Brasher, Lauren Murphree, Jonathan Brasher, Danielle Brasher, Alexandra Brasher and Ben Brasher, and six great grandchildren with one more great grandchild on the way.
Those honored to serve as pallbearers included, Ben Brasher, Jonathan Brasher, Sam Brasher, Seburn Brasher, Charlie Forrest and Lance Mitchell.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be directed to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or Paynes Baptist Church.
