Patricia Doris (Barrows) Brann, 81, was the daughter of Russell Fenton Barrows and L. Thelma Dore, born on August 6, 1932, Topsham, Maine. She died Thursday March 6, 2014 at the Hospice House in Auburn, Maine.
Patricia is survived by her loving husband of 34 years Donald E. Brann, Jr., and six children: Joe E. Martin, Jr. of Rumford, and his children E.J., Zachary, Sarah, and Laura; Dr. Priscilla Martin and husband Dr. Donald Bordley of Rochester, NY with their children Erin, Christopher and Kate Bordley; Dr. Kathleen Martin and husband Rick Beaudet of Hartford, ME, with their children Dominique, Ricky and Matt Beaudet; Bernard Martin and wife Lauren, with their children Sydney, Colby, Peter and Jersey Martin; Dr. Michael Martin and wife Amanda, with their children David and Meredith Martin; and Patrick Martin and wife Margaret, with their children Kelsey and Haley Martin. She is also survived by three step-children Shannon Kashinsky with her children Amber, Joshua, Cameron and Zachary; Dawna Veillieux with her children Schyler and Carley; and Lorri Clow and husband Tom, with their children Trevor and Tristin. She is also survived by two great grandchildren Jada and Corbin Richard, and her beloved Husky, Juno. Patricia really loved and enjoyed her grandchildren when she had the opportunity to visit with them.
In her youth, Patricia was President of the World Wide Guild, sang in the choir at the United Baptist Church of Topsham, was the lead in numerous school plays, and was MOHIBA queen of Morse High School. She graduated from Morse High School in Bath in 1950.
Patricia attended Central Maine General Hospital's School of Nursing as well as the Auburn Maine School of Commerce. She married Dr. J.E. Martin of Mexico in 1953 and had seven children with him.
Patricia came to live in Lewiston in 1968, and worked for White Rock Distilleries as an accountant, and for the City of Auburn as Clerk then Appraiser and then Assessor. She taught Assessing courses at C.M.V.T.I. and held offices in both the Maine Association of Assessing Officers and the International Association of Assessing Officers. She also served as director of the Board of Christian Education at the United Baptist Church in Lewiston. Patricia subsequently worked for the School Superintendent's office in the Town of Winthrop and retired in 1966.
In the 1970's, Patricia was responsible for forming a youth square dance group at the United Baptist Church in Lewiston. This club was instrumental in helping those children remain "drug free".
Patricia married Donald E. Brann of Windham, ME in 1980. They taught and cued Round Dancing for sixteen years in Westbook, Scarborough, Waterville, Brunswick, as well as many weekends in the Northeast and Canada. Together they choreographed and demonstrated many dance routines in classes and conventions in the Northern and Central U.S.A. and Canada.
Patricia and Don joined the Eastern Star Pine Cone Chapter 11 in Lisbon Falls. She enjoyed doing crafts, knitting, sewing clothes and dolls, and making items for her grandchildren. She was an avid reader, enjoying all types of books.
