Marie Miller Smith was born October 20, 1927, to the late Eddie Mack and Arnie Lee Miller in Brooks County, GA. She was the third child of five daughters. Mother Smith began her Christian walk at a very early age. She was educated in the Brooks County Public School System.
On December 24, 1945, she married the late Mose Smith. This union blessed them with four children: Mose Smith Jr wife (Maxine) of Cocoa, FL; Laura Smith Brantley of Tampa, late Aubrey Smith, wife (Sandra) of Tampa, FL; and Bertha Smith Miller, husband (Thomas) of Naples FL.
In 1958, they moved their family to Naples FL she was a resident there for 42 years. After Mose retirement in 2000, she moved back to Brooks County (Quitman, GA) until the passing of her husband. Then she moved back to Florida, residing until her passing.
Marie was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, prayer warrior, and home missionary. She faithfully walked in her calling, touching countless lives and leading many to Christ. She leaves behind a loving family, including three children, 13 grandchildren, 30 great- grandchildren, 17 great-great-grandchildren, as well as many cherished nieces, nephews, and godchildren and friends who were blessed by her love, guidance, and faith.
Though we grieve her absence, we honor her by carrying forward the kindness she showed, the love she modeled, and the integrity she lived by. Her memory will continue to inspire strength in times of difficulty, and gratitude in moments of joy. She will always be remembered with deep love and respect. Though the pain of her loss is overwhelming, we find solace in the memories she left behind.
