Ann B. (Joyce) Powers, 94, of Holbrook, formerly of Rosmuc, Co. Galway, Ireland, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 7, 2025, at home surrounded by her family.  Beloved wife of the late William W. Powers.  Loving mother of Joyce Powers of Avon, Ann Zoller and her husband Tom of Lancaster, Patrick Powers of Holbrook, Maureen Powers and her spouse Sally Nixon of Randolph, Brian Powers and his partner Lauri Lopes of Holbrook, and the late William C. and Sean S.

Ann enjoyed baking, cooking, sewing, working in her flower and vegetable gardens, and was a self-taught upholsterer.  She was an avid reader that enjoyed both a good mystery and a love story.  Ann loved the beach, whether it was Cape Cod or Nantasket beach.  Her greatest joy was her family.  She loved to travel with her three daughters to Ireland, Jamaica, Napa Valley, and the Bahamas – their travel names were Anna and her sisters, aka the four musketeers.

    I am so sorry to hear of Ann’s passing. We are going to deeply miss her. I loved our connection to Galway, Ireland. Ann was very good to the Dacko family. I will miss her great sense of humor, her kindness and her listening ear. I will miss her Christmas cakes and her Ireland’s own magazines that Bill delivered. I will light a candle in county Galway for her as I am there at present. Condolences, love and prayers to the Powers family. 🕯🙏🏻🇮🇪💕
