Anne BROWN Obituary

Passed away peacefully in her sleep, September 21, 2025, aged 97 years. Quite possibly the world's most positive and content person, Anne loved life and living. An enthusiastic walker to the end! Anne's husband Colin, left us four years ago, and now she joins him to be together again. Anne was a wonderful mother and mother-in-law to Rosemary and Bruce (Nelson), Stephen and Glenda (Christchurch), Michael and Tania (Nelson). A proud grandmother to Olivia, Jed, Grace, Lucy and Felix, a delighted great-grandmother to Jack, Noah, Flynn, August and Poppy.
