Mary Anne "Annie" Smith of Bainbridge, Indiana passed away in her home surrounded by her loving family on October 30, 2026. She was born on October 23, 1954 in Denver, Colorado to Ruth Ellen (Rodaway) and Oliver Clinton Nett. Annie lived in Colorado, Wyoming and California then moved to Indiana in 1995. Annie was a uniquely talented original doll artist, along with being a founding member and on the Board of Directors of the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls & Toys. Annie was passionate about art and spent most of her time creating. She loved a wide variety of music and was always up for singing along. She had an incredible wealth of knowledge when it came to history and politics. However, Annie’s pride and joy was her family and her nickname even evolved to “Nannie” when her grandsons were born. She was well known for her generous and compassionate spirit and her door was always open to anyone who needed a home or family.
Survivors include her husband Mikey; children Jennifer (Duane), Daniel, Timothy (Tara); grandchildren Kyle and Aiden; brother Tim, several nieces and nephews and lifelong friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brother “Bunny” Reuel Seth.
Annie will be laid to rest at a graveside service at Bainbridge Cemetery on Thursday, November 5th at 2:00PM. Pastor Steve Blaydes will officiate. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made directly to Wounded Warriors or any veteran’s association of your choice.
