O'BRIEN Ann passed at home aged ninety-one years in Bradenton, FLorida, USA. September 1, 2020 surrounded by her loved ones. Ann married Liam in Dublin in 1955, and globe trotted to the US Mid-west the following year producing a gaggle of five children, seven grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. She had a mischievous smile and a rebellious twitch that led her to be our family's central matriarch. Auntie Ann has nieces and nephews who still swoon for her; you know who you are, and you are loved in return. Ann is survived by her siblings Alton and (Mary) Roberts and Patsy Lundberg. Her sons Liam Denis and Kathleen O'Brien; Conor and June O'Brien. Her daughters Deirdre O'Brien; Eileen and John Pitts; Maureen and Tom Parker. She was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Liam O'Brien MD, sisters Violet Hogan, Pansy Sharman, Isabel Roberts. The jubilation of life will be at Brown and Sons Funeral Homes 604 43rd St. W. Bradenton, FL 34209, on Saturday, September 12. Visitation at 2.00pm service at 2.30pm. Facebook Live is available at https://www.facebook.com/brownandsonsfuneral.
