Anne E. (Gardner) Smith, 73, of Bridgton passed away Friday, March 20, 2020 after a brief battle with lung cancer.

Beloved mother, grandmother, twin sister, sis, aunt and friend, Anne was born and raised in Rockland, Mass. but moved to Maine and resided in Bridgton for the last 31 years.

She was the widow of Ed Smith and was preceded in death by her mother and father, Olive and Roy Gardner.

Her free spirit, infectious smile, larger than life laugh, and feistiness were her most endearing qualities.

She will be deeply missed by her daughters, Mary Schneider, Alicia Merritt, Aimee McCue, Chenoa Sullivan and Amanda Fickett; her brother, David; twin sister, Ellin Schneider; and youngest sister, Brenda.

She was the fun-loving Grams/Rammy/Brammy to seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was an aunt and friend to many and will be remembered fondly by all.

A private gathering with her family and closest friends will be held at a later date.
