Ann M. Brookshire

Ann was born in Hiddenite, NC. She was married for sixty-two years to her love, Red Brookshire, who preceded her in passing ten years ago. They moved to the community of Oakdale, near Charlotte, where she was a loving mom to her five children. She was an active member of the Oakdale community and Pleasant Grove Methodist Church, and later, Pineville United Methodist Church. She was a loving mother and grandmother, who showed her kids the straight and true way, all while working in the family business. She was always there when her kids needed her, but let them learn from their own mistakes, and was there to pick up the pieces afterwards, A quiet, but strong woman, she was a lover of the beach, North Carolina mountains and a passionate reader up until her death. Ann was a loyal supporter of local sports including the Hornets and Panthers.

Ann is survived, by her five children: Devon, Fonda, Joan, Jean, and Ben, and her five grandchildren: Megan and Murphy Lee, and Hunter, Tucker, and Savannah Brookshire; and one great grandchild, Harrison.
