Ainsley Roth Obituary
Poughkeepsie - Roth, Ainsley Anne age 70 of Poughkeepsie, NY passed away peacefully with her family by her side on Sunday October 25, 2020 at the Kindred Care Healthcare Dover, NJ. Born and raised in Findlay, Ohio, Ainsley lived many years in Manhattan, NY before moving to beautiful Poughkeepsie along the Hudson River.
Daughter of the late Dr. John Franklin and Florence (nee Brooke) Roth, Ainsley graduated from the Hathaway Brown School, Cleveland, Ohio and later earned her bachelor's degree from the Briarcliff College in Westchester County, New York. Ainsley also attended graduate school at Columbia University NY, New York.
Ainsley had a long and satisfying career with Tiffany and Co. retiring as a Customer Service Executive in 2010. She and her long time companion the late Jeremy Banta enjoyed the museums, plays and restaurants that New York City had to offer for many years. They also enjoyed making road trips throughout New England. Ainsley had many close friends, especially her neighbors affectionately known as the "Posse" or the "Three Musketeers." She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. She exuded style. Right Color, Right Clothing, Right Jewelry.
"A journey is best measured in friends, not in miles." ? Tim Cahill. Ainsley's many dear friends are a testament to a beautiful journey.
Ainsley is survived by her sisters Diana Roth Binger of Cedartown, GA and Serena Roth Bateman and her husband Dr. Scott Bateman of Pacific Palisades. Auntie A is also survived by her beloved nieces Christine Simerly and Dr. Ashley Bateman and husband Dave Kelsheimer, her nephews Adam and wife Ariana Bateman and John and wife Brandi Binger. Auntie A cherished her "niecelets" and "nephlets" and her name will live on through her namesake. She always had a smile with her bright red lipstick and cheers for her friends and family, "Health, Happiness, Prosperity and Love."

Ainsley was royalty in residence at Executive Towers in Poughkeepsie, sometimes complete with a jeweled headband! People gravitated toward her and she was gracious with each of one of them.
I so enjoyed our visits together—both poolside and in her beautifully decorated apartment. She was a wonderful conversationalist. We covered everything from history, to art, to her great love for her family, especially her niece-lets and neph-let!
Ainsley was also deeply civic-minded, a true treasure to the whole community. She will be greatly missed.

I met Ainsely as a young girl at Camp Arbutus, and years later reconnected with her through a mutual camp friend. We had a lovely lunch together several years ago and exchanged notes on and off since then. Ainsely was such a warm, loving, thoughtful and gracious woman. My condolences to her family and friends. May she rest in peace. Laura Matthews

Ainsley was my roommate for three years at Briarcliff College and we maintained a friendship since those days. When Ainsley lived in Manhattan, we often had dinner together and spent hours chatting. Ainsley shared a birthday with my father, so every year we would make sure to talk on that day. Ainsley was a lady, a beautiful writer and a good friend. In college, she would spend hours helping others with their work (and sometimes doing it for them). She taught me to play bridge, although I never got the hang of it. We had great fun ! Ainsley was a true friend and I will miss her.
