She was taller than her husband Theodore Roosevelt who was 5'10. She was almost six feet tall at being 5'11 1/2".

That is not entirely accurate. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt was the niece of the twenty-sixth president, Theodore Roosevelt (her father Elliott Roosevelt was TR's brother). She was the wife of the thirty-second president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was also her distant cousin and shared her surname. (It is worth noting, however, that the presidents Roosevelt pronounced their names differently. Theodore Roosevelt pronounced his name ROOS-eh-velt, while Franklin Roosevelt pronounced it ROSE-uh-velt.)

At 5'11, Mrs. Roosevelt was taller than her uncle Theodore, but shorter than her husband. FDR stood 6'2" when he ran for vice president in 1920. The following year, he was stricken with what was then thought to be polio myelitis, and thereafter was confined to a wheelchair.
