SMITH, Anna B.

A fifty year resident of Pembroke, MA, passed away peacefully on November 27, 2023, at the age of 87. Although a resident of Pembroke, Anna’s heart always remained in her hometown of Charlestown.

Ann was predeceased by her loving husband of fifty-nine years, David H. Smith; loving parents, Robert and Anna M. Burke; and beloved brother, Robert Burke.

Anna enjoyed spending time at the library, eating sweets and spending time with her family. Anna spent her career as a dedicated nurse and devoted caregiver. While she loved being a nurse, Anna’s true passion was her family. Anna was a devoted wife, mother of three, grandmother of ten and great-grandmother of fourteen. Anna inspired a lifelong love of reading in her children, grandchildren and generations to come.
