The funeral service for Mrs. Annie Clara Case Smith will be 10 a.m., Saturday, August 17th, at Riverwood Family with burial in Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery. Visitation is from 9 a.m. until the time of service at Riverwood.
Mrs. Smith, 96, of Brookhaven, went to be with her Lord and Savior August 13, 2024. She began her life’s journey June 19, 1928, when she was born to her parents, Bennie Case and Georgie A. Vaughn Case.
Mrs. Smith was a lifelong member of Friendship Baptist Church. She worked at King’s Daughters Medical Center in the Housekeeping Department. She loved and enjoyed her co-workers.
Annie was born and raised and lived her entire life as a “country girl” and was grateful and thankful for every moment. One of her favorite pastimes was sitting by the lake on her property where she spent much time in prayer. She was a woman of integrity and faith. Annie’s motto in life was “success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get.” Her legacy will live on through those who loved her and called her friend.
Annie is preceded in death by her husband, James Smith and her parents.
She is survived by two double first cousins, Margaret Ann Britt and Harold Case (Carolyn) and by numerous cousins as well as her faith family at Friendship.
Annie was blessed to have such caring and loving caretakers, Debbie Coley, Hazel Barlow, and Marilyn Beeson.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to Friendship Baptist Church Cemetery Fund, 1502 Friendship Lane NW, Brookhaven, MS 39601
