Evelyn G. Smith, 99, passed away March 25, 2023. The Louisville native was born November 18, 1923, to Sarah and Louis Glazer. She graduated from Louisville Girls High School in 1941 and the University of Alabama in 1945. She was the first person in her family to graduate from college. While there, Evelyn met the love of her life, Dr. Stanley E. Smith, a Second Lieutenant stationed in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. They were married for 38 years, until Stanley's death in 1984.
Evelyn ran the family household and helped Stanley in his medical practice. They were devoted to each other and their family and remained so until the end of their lives. After Stanley's death, Evelyn moved to Palm Beach, Florida, where she lived for over 30 years. Evelyn lived a busy life in Palm Beach; she made new friends, went to the theater, played cards and mahjong, and enjoyed many visits from family. She kept up with the times, learning to use a laptop at age 85 and an iPad at age 90.
Affectionately known as "Mema" by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Evelyn always placed family at the center of her universe. Evelyn is survived by her children, Dr. Samuel Smith (Cheryl) of Nashville, Terry Price (James) of Louisville, and Susan Michal-Smith (Norman Rabkin) of Arlington, VA; six grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Evelyn's parents, husband, and sisters, Ada Flamm and Elaine Frank, sister-in-law, Elaine Feiden, and brother-in-law, Dr. Harold Michal-Smith, preceded her in death.
