She was predeceased by her sisters, Louise Woods, Ida Maness, Mary Little, Margie Duffy, Miriam Parnell and Jean Dennis; her brother J.D. Outlaw; and her son-in-law, John Kelley Segars.
During her long life, Mrs. Smith was an active and contributing member of her church and the Lee County community, especially her Wisacky neighbors. She was known for her generosity of spirit, expressed in the sharing of her special talents as a wonderful cook and seamstress, as well as the bounty from her flower and vegetable gardens. She lived her faith in both word and deed, and will be greatly missed by her family land friends.
It is the request of the family that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to Elliott Baptist Church, c/o Becky Berdeau, 2333 Wisacky Highway, Bishopville, SC 29010, or to Ascension Hospice, 1303 W. Evans St., Florence, SC 29501.
The family offers a heartfelt thank you to the team from Ascension Hospice who cared for her during her last days at McCoy Nursing Center.
