Anne Francis Smith

October 1, 1946 - April 21, 2025

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Anne Francis Smith, a beloved mother, devoted partner, and cherished friend. Anne left this world on April 21, 2025, at the age of 78, surrounded by love and warm memories.

Born in Cincinnati, OH, Anne lived a full and vibrant life while making Milford her home for many years. She proudly earned her High School Diploma and took secretary and short hand classes. Her working career started, after her divorce, at Semple and Associates where she meet the love of her life Frank. This lead her to a fruitful career at Duke Energy where her dedication to her work was always evident.

Anne was not just a professional; she was the heart and soul of her family. A loving mother to her son, Rick, and a treasured mother-in-law to Yvette and Nicki, she left a legacy of strength and love. Her granddaughter, Isabella, was the joy of her life, and Anne delighted in every moment spent with her.

Those who knew Anne will remember her fondly for her warm smile and her passion for life. She had a profound love for the beach, particularly Sanibel Island, where she found peace and happiness alongside her long-time partner, Frank McCullough. Together, they created memories that will live on in the hearts of those who loved them.

In keeping with Anne's wishes, there will be no formal services. Instead, we invite all who knew her to remember her in their own special ways. Whether it's by planting a tree in her honor or making a donation to the Multiple Sclerosis Society, let us carry forward her spirit of kindness and compassion.

Anne Francis Smith will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love and family will continue to shine brightly in our hearts.

Anne was preceded in death by parents Stanley and Dorothy Radcliff and son David .
