Anson most enjoyed spending time with his family. He was an avid outdoorsman, whether it was counted down the days to hunting and fishing season or spending time in his garden.

The funeral service will be held at Friday, October 7, at Helt Funeral Chapel in Mill Hall. Pastor Janice Heiser will be officiating. Visitation will be held at 11:00 AM with funeral services immediately following at 12:00 PM. Burial will follow the funeral at Rest Haven Memorial Park with full military honors.
Anson had a never-ending love of animals- there was never a hungry stray in his neighborhood. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be given to Clinton County SPCA. The family of Anson Brookens wishes to thank wonderful medical staff at the State College Veterans Administration for all of their care and compassion.
