Stephen Smith '47 Leaves Bequest to his Alumni Assoc
Stephen T. Smith (Class of 1947) passed away on March 15, 2024 in Moorestown, New Jersey. Steve was a long time faithful donor to our annual Light-a-Light fundraising efforts, and in his last will and testament he very generously bequeathed $10,000 to the FHS Alumni Association.
After graduating from Fairhaven High School, Steve earned a Bachelor's Degree from Brown University in 1951. Steve then enlisted in the U.S. Army who then sent him to Officer's Candidate School where he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant. After being discharged from the Army in 1954 Steve entered Harvard University where he earned his Masters Degree in Mathematics and Education. Steve and his wife Betsy moved to Moorestown, N.J. in 1956 where Steve taught Mathematics, Computer Science and Data Processing for 30 years on the junior and senior high school level. Steve was involved in a long list of school, community and religious activities while he raised his family, which included three sons, in Moorestown, N.J.
Our Alumni Association is honored to receive such a generous gift from Steve, and we feel that he must have had many fond memories of his days at Fairhaven High School, and he must have been touched reading about the numerous projects that the FHS Alumni has completed over the years because he was consistently one of our most faithful donors.
