Ida Mae Smith

Ida Mae Smith, beloved matriarch and cherished soul, peacefully departed this life on June 5, 2025, at the blessed age of 91. Born on May 25, 1934, Ida Mae lived a life rooted in faith, family, and grace-leaving behind a legacy of strength, love, and quiet resilience.

She was united in holy matrimony to William Thomas Smith, with whom she shared a long and devoted union. Together, they built a home filled with love, respect, and unwavering commitment. From that union came five children: William Thomas Smith Jr. (who preceded her in death), Barbara Ann Smith, Gregory Keith Smith, Belinda Smith, and Frank Christopher Smith.

Ida Mae’s love extended deeply to her grandchildren, who brought her boundless pride and joy. She was the grandmother of Donald Preston (married to Ada Preston), Sean and Wayne, Justin Keith Smith, Gregory Keith Smith Jr., Kimberly Smith, Brandon Smith, and David, son of William, Jr.

A woman of quiet strength and enduring faith, Ida Mae was the heart of the Smith family. Her wisdom guided generations, her laughter filled the rooms of every family gathering, and her unconditional love was a steady light in every storm. She taught not just with words, but through her unwavering presence, resilience, and grace.

Though she has entered eternal rest, Ida Mae’s spirit remains woven into the hearts of those she loved. The family finds peace in knowing she is joyfully reunited with her beloved husband and dear son, embraced by eternal love and divine light.

A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered.
