Affinity announces with sadness the services of a beloved community member and mentor to many, Barbara “Robbie” Smith.
Robbie was a longtime Affinity board member, managed the organization’s finances for 12 years, was a founding member of Forty Plus, and was a founding member of the Affinity Trailblazers. Robbie was an amazing human being who was also wife and mother to two phenomenal women, Phyllis Johnson and Chris Smith, respectively. Her transition has left a huge hole in our hearts. During these difficult days, please keep her family in your thoughts, prayers, chants, meditations.
