FARMINGTON — Isadore “Izzy” Brann, 83, of Dixfield, passed away peacefully Sunday, Feb. 18, with his loving family by his side. Izzy is now reunited with his brother Steve, who passed away four days prior.
He was born Jan. 20, 1935, in Peru, son of Loando V. and Ida A. (Pingree) Brann.
Isadore and Carolyn Pettegrow’s quaint wedding on Feb. 25, 1956, led to a 62-year marriage for friends and family to admire.
He was a hard worker from a very young age, then supporting his family as a farmer, logger and his fir tipping business. His passions included showing cattle at local fairs, growing squash, attending jam fests in nearby towns and he had a love of the land.
Above all, Isadore loved and was very proud of his family. He adored being a grandfather and was a huge influence to all of his grandchildren. He loved going for scenic rides, having long conversations with anyone who would listen, and loved retelling his favorite stories. He loved having tea on the porch overlooking the Androscoggin River and spending time with friends. All were welcome at the farm.
Surviving are his wife, Carolyn; sons, Nelson Brann, Mark Brann and wife, Donna, Michael Brann and wife, Darlene; daughters, Nancy McPherson, Natalie Murphy and husband, Robert; grandsons, Curtis Brann and wife, Erikka, Seth McPherson and wife, Kaci, Travis Waite and wife, Katy, Jonathan McPherson, Devin Brann; granddaughters, Melissa Stevens and husband, Charlie, Krystal Smith and husband, Ryan, Tracie Brann and significant other, Tim Willis, Katie Metivier and fiancé, Michael Young, Lindsey Brann and fiancé, Kayla Perry; great-grandchildren, Owen and Brooke Smith, Cash Stevens, Oliver and Lorelai Waite, Raelyn Metivier, Hannah McPherson, Everett Brann, Liam and Jayson Brann, and Baby Young; sister-in-law, Deborah Brann; and brother-in-law, Leo LaPointe, and several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents; his brothers, Lawrence, Kenneth and Van “Steve” Brann; and his sister, Marie LaPointe.
