It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Annette. She was a force of nature with a never ending desire to do good. Deepest sympathy to Mark and the extended Smith and Hynes families. May she rest in peace.

I only heard of Annette’s sad passing today. I have many lovely memories of ballet classes as a child & I still think with fondness of Annette every time I walk past Novara Hall. She may be gone but her influence will live on in Bray through many generations of ballerinas.

I've just been told about Annette's passing, and I want to add my sincere condolences to her family. She meant so much to so many. I will always remember her, and miss her for her intelligence, strength - particularly after Michael's death, and her 'get on with it' attitude in the face of her challenges.

I will miss her chats, and am very grateful to have known her and had the pleasure of her company.

Annette, you were a wonderful early influence in grace and beauty… to so many of us ❤️ May you rest in peace.

I offer my sincerest sympathy to the family of Annette Smith. I was saddened to hear of her passing. I was a past student of the Annette Hynes School of dance, I loved her classes and Annette has given me a lifelong love of dance. I still love dance as a hobby. I also remember Annette in BIFE. She was a force of nature and touch many hearts in the dance community in Bray. RIP

Mark, Blaire Simon, my sincerest sympathies on the death of your beloved mum Annette. What an innings. No doubt happily reunited with your dad Mike and having great conversations & discussions with Gillian. May Annette Rest in Peace.

To Blaire, Mark and Simon, Sincere condolences on your huge loss. Your mother was an amazing lady. From Ballet to to the Bray Chamber of commerce, I have the fondest memories of your lovely mum. I can still hear her beautiful voice, always so articulate. May she rest in peace x

To all the Smith family sincere sympathies on the passing of Annette.
She was a delightful ballet teacher and was always dressed and looked immaculate. She had such grace about her and took no nonence in the class. I loved ballet for the 10 years I was with her in Arklow.

To the family of "Miss Hynes" as we all knew her-
My deepest condolences on the passing of a wonderful woman. I had the honor of being taught ballet by Annette in Arklow (with my two sisters also) for many years and I never forgot her. She taught me things I did not know about manners-- things like ladies never whistle (!) -- and she was just generally a really great teacher. Our trips to Bray for the exams were a huge deal and something I still remember when I go to Bray. I remember John- who played the piano for her/us and had a great rapport with her. The Ballet Display event, in St Marys College, was another huge deal. She remains a strong memory of my childhood and in recent years I had looked her up and was happy to see that she had remained active as she grew older.
I am sure your loss is immense. She was a remarkable woman. Please know that you are in our thoughts. Miriam and all the Nyhans (Ferrybank, Arklow, by way of Cork and San Francisco too)

Annette was a kind and gentle dance teacher and have fond memories of classes with her on the Novara Road. May she rest in peace.

To Mark and Dolores, Blaire, Simon and Annette’s grandchildren Ted, Corin, Beatrice and Molly, our sincere condolences. Annette may you dance with the angels now and rest in peace.

We are sorry to hear this sad news. Mum says “Annette was a force of nature and will be missed by all who knew and loved her”. They shared many fond ballet memories including their trip to Russia.

They need a dance teacher in heaven ❤️RIP

As a past student of the BIFE dance course I am so saddened to hear of Annette's passing. She contributed hugely to my studies with her positivity, kindness and words of encouragement. She really made you believe that anything was possible if you put your mind to it and I'd have been lost without her words of wisdom throughout my years there.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those who loved her - especially her family. Thanks for everything Annette - You were and always will be an inspirational woman. Rest peacefully x

Condolences to Mark, Blaire and Simon on the passing of their mum.

We moved next door to Annette about 7 years ago and over that time I enjoyed many conversations with her. She had a great sense of humour and a way with words. Each chat would reveal some hitherto unknown nugget from her past - from politics to ballet. I was always left with the impression she had lived a full life. RIP Annette

My deepest sympathies to Annette’s family on the loss of such a tremendous lady who was a huge positive influence for the many young girls who attended Bray School of Dance. Annette was a talented lady whose skills went beyond teaching girls to dance; she also fostered a deep relationship with her students. Her kindness and passion encouraged her students to work hard and aim high and this in no doubt laid the foundations for many young girl to go and succeed in life. So many of my childhood memories are of dance class and “Miss Hynes” and all of them happy. I have a lot of gratitude for how she shaped my approach to life.
