Ann H. Wilder, 81, of Fitzwilliam, passed away on Monday, October 12, 2026. Born in Fitzwilliam, NH, on July 3, 1945, she was the daughter of the late John and Mary (Chase) Hanninen.

She grew up on the family farm, a lifelong resident of Fitzwilliam. Ann was a member of the first graduating class of Monadnock High School in 1963.

Ann cherished time spent with her family, especially her beloved grandchildren, and enjoyed the companionship of her pets.
