The funeral service for Linda Faye Smith will be 11 a.m., Tuesday, May 23, at Riverwood Family, with interment in New Sight Cemetery. Visitation is from 5-8 p.m., Monday, May 22, at Riverwood, and will resume from 10 a.m. until the time of service on Tuesday.

Mrs. Linda Faye Smith went to be with the Lord on Thursday, May 18, 2023. She was born on February 19, 1941, to James K. and Hollyce Smith. She was married to James Rowan “Junior” Smith, Jr. and they had two daughters, Sharon Rose and Linda Sheree.

Mrs. Linda worked at Stahl Urban, TG & Y, and Imaginations. She was a wonderful seamstress and homemaker. She was very creative and talented and loved to quilt, craft, paint, garden, and basically anything that allowed her artistry to shine.

After her husband Junior passed away in 1974, Linda became mother and father, grandmother and grandfather, over the next forty-nine years. Her daughters fondly remember her teaching them basic skills, from changing a tire and driving, to cooking and crafts. She loved teaching her grandchildren those same skills and involving them in all the teachable moments of life.

She is preceded in death by her husband; parents; sisters, Jerelene Walker (Lloyd) and Aileen Traxler; her brother, Curtis Smith (Relda); and brother-in-law, Robert Terrell.

Those left to cherish her memory are her, her daughters, Sharon Rose Case (Greg) and Linda Sheree Crosby (Wayne); sisters, Peggy Porter (Carol Ray) and Charlotte Terrell; her five grandsons, Brandon Case (Linda), Mitch Case (Sandy), Byron McCullough (Kimberly), Cody Crosby, and Reid Crosby; one granddaughter, Cherilynn Howell (Robert); nine great grandchildren, John and Jace Marbury, Charlie and Chell Rose Howell, Madelynn and Rowan Case, Brian and Brandon Monteleone, and Baby McCullough (parents Byron and Kimberly) coming December 2023.
