JOY:

CHAPTER 1: FAMILY

CHAPTER 2: FRIENDS

CHAPTER 3: FAITH

CHAPTER 4: PERSERVERANCE

CHAPTER 5: HOPE

CHAPTER 6: LEARNING

          It is not by accident that a traditional obituary has not been published and placed in your hand.  Our beloved Marsha spoke many times of her family and friends celebrating her life with joy and precious memories.  It is our decision to honor her wishes.

Those who will continue to read Marsha’s book:

Marsha’s mother, Addie B. Smith, Marsha’s son Ryan Smith, Marsha’s grandson Rhadi, Marsha’s brothers Spencer Smith and Jarol Smith.  As will a host of family and friends.
