Obituary For Shirley Ann Smith

Shirley Ann Smith, a dedicated mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, great-great aunt, and a friend, gained her wings and transitioned to her final heavenly home on Thursday, November 18, 2022 at WFBH High Point Medical Center. She was born in High Point, NC on September 3, 1942. Shirley grew up with her loving parents, Jerry and Della LeGrand Smith; her two siblings, Jerry Lee Smith and Betty Jean Smith Bohannon. She was preceded in death by her parents; one daughter, Jeana Smith Ford; and brother, Jerry Lee Smith.

After graduating from William Penn High School in 1960, she briefly moved to Brooklyn, NY. ‘‘No” was a word she used sometime, but never meant. Shirley took great pride and pleasure in faith and serving her community and church family at St. Stephen Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church. Serving on various committees brought her so much joy and excitement.

Shirley was a dedicated mother to two children, Kevin Smith of High Point, NC and Jeana Smith Ford (who preceded her in death). She also took great pride in being a grandmother to her grandchildren, Kamarri Smith of High Point, NC, and to her grand “son” Jerry Jerome Ford, whom she raised as her own, an accolade she was extremely proud to have accomplished. She is also survived by her loving sister, Betty Smith Bohannon; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Funeral service will be held Saturday, November 26, 2022 at 12:30 p.m. at St. Stephen Metropolitan A.M.E. Zion Church. Interment will follow at Carolina Biblical Gardens. The family will receive friends at the church from 12:00 p.m. until 12:30 p.m. There will be no public viewing at the Funeral Home.

Final arrangements are entrusted to Phillips Funeral Service, Inc.
