Anna Maebelle (Ohler) Brown

Anna M. Brown, 94, of Mansfield, passed away on October 31, 2019 at home after a 5 year battle with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Anna was born in Richland County on November 18, 1924, to the late Jesse D. and Cleo M. (Yarnell) Ohler.

Anna lived in the area all of her life. She would work at Ideal Electric for 21years, before leaving to raise her family and become a homemaker. And what a great homemaker she became. Always known for being a “hard working grandma”. Anna never let the grass grow under her feet. She enjoyed baking, sewing, and gardening. She helped Harry in raising goats, taking them to local shows and fairs. You could find Anna watching her favorite evening TV shows, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Anna was an avid Cleveland Indians fan, and enjoyed jigsaw and crossword puzzles. Most of all, she loved spending time with her grandkids and great-grandkids.

Anna is survived by three children; Harry Herritt of Mansfield, Paul (Kimberly) Brown of Mansfield, and Teresa Fliger of Galion; her stepson; Richard (Cathy) Brown of Galion; numerous grandchildren, step-grandchildren, great grandchildren, and step-great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, Anna was preceded in death by her first husband, Henry Herritt in 1963; her second husband, Harry Brown in 1998; son, Kenneth Herritt; step-daughter, E. S. Kidwell; step-son, John Brown; daughters-in-law B.J. Herritt and Janie Herritt, son-in-law, Bob Fliger, and siblings, Arthur Ohler, Dora Zellner, Lena Stuckey, Isabelle Hunter, and Alma Harding.
