Ann Davis Segura

Ann (Davis) Segura of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, 82, died Tuesday, October 1, 2019 at Mountain View Community in Ossipee, NH.   Former long-time Albany, New York resident, Ann was born in Boston, Massachusetts and was the daughter of the late Mary (Ecker) and Charles B. Davis.   After proudly graduating from Brookline High School, Ann followed the footsteps of her Father and Uncles who served in the Brookline Police and Fire Departments and her hard-working widowed Mother to serve each community in which she lived, by working at the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Jamaica Plain and assisting principals and a director of education at Lisha Kill Middle School, The Church of St. Clare, and The Doane Stuart School all in Albany, New York.   After “retiring” to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, Ann worked for her friends at Bly Farm and was nicknamed the “head dead header” as she was proficient at also caring for plants. Ann was a devout Catholic and sang in the choir at St. Katharine Drexel Church, made pilgrimages to Spain, Portugal, and Rome, and attended local retreats in her earlier years. With a zest for life, Ann loved to knit, paint and quilt with her many good friends and always had a beautiful garden in every home in which she lived with her husband of 59 years, Manuel “Manny” Segura, Jr. “Annie and Manny” loved taking summer vacations in Wolfeboro every summer and visiting family in Boston and Spain as much as possible, and permanently moved from Albany to Wolfeboro in 1996.   Ann will always be remembered for her sense of humor and quick wit, beautiful handy work, and strong love of family including her dogs. Ann is survived by her loving husband Manuel S. Segura, Jr.; son Charles “Charlie” Segura and wife Sharon (Mormino) of Albany and daughter Suzanne “Suzie” Segura Taylor and husband Anthony “Wing-Wong” of Boston, MA; grandson Michael Anthony Segura and great-grandson Parker Anthony Segura of Albany, NY; brother-in-law Roberto Segura and his wife Julie of Chicago, IL; nieces and nephews; and cherished friends. Ann is predeceased by her brother Charles B. Davis and sister-in-law Elizabeth (Begley) of Natick, MA.   The Segura family gives their sincerest thanks to the nurses and caregivers at Mountain View Community for their unwavering care and compassion.   Funeral services, Friday, October 4, 2019 from Baker-Gagne Funeral Home, Mill Street, Wolfeboro.
