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.

Thinking and praying for you all at this difficult time.😥
Annie was a beautiful fun loving and kind person. I always loved when she came to Ireland. I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Rest in Peace Annie.
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. 🕯🙏🏻🇮🇪💕

To the Powers family
Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss. It is never easy to say goodbye regardless of how long you had her. Being the matriarch of one of Holbrook’s great families gave her pride I am sure. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Your mother will forever be loved and missed. Our deepest sincere condolences.
Dear Pat, Maureen, Brian, and family.
Skip, Joe, and I would like to offer our sincere condolences on behalf of your Mom and her recent passing.
We loved her. We have fond memories of Saint Joseph’s church, the Knights of Columbus, and everything Holbrook…
Your Mom and Dad were full of class, dignity, fun, family, and love.
Together, they made Holbrook great, and we will be forever grateful.
May God bless Ann and all of you.
Love,
Jack Graz
