Anne Keller Smith (Nov. 26, 1931 – Oct. 9, 2022) was born in Rochester, NY, daughter of Elizabeth H. and Clifford H. Keller, and was predeceased by 3 older siblings.
Anne was involved in a multitude of community activities, serving as Mansfield’s Assistant Registrar of Voters, on the Northeastern CT Board of Tourism, and for many years as President of the Mansfield League of Women Voters, where she helped establish the annual Know Your Town Fair (now the Downtown Mansfield Festival). She was an active volunteer in many organizations including Planned Parenthood, the World Federalist Association, and the local Trouping Theater, putting on plays in the round for school children. She was also an enthusiastic member of the UConn League playreading group, where her dramatic skills were much appreciated. Anne loved gardening, swimming, canoeing, hiking, attending theater and musical performances, and engaging with new people and places, both at home and when Win’s work took them on sabbaticals and sojourns to other states and countries.
She will be greatly missed by her husband Winthrop Smith, daughter Sarah Smith of Gloucester MA, much loved nieces, nephews and cousins, and many dear friends.
