Mrs. Smith was a member of State Street Baptist Church for over 25 years and was born February 20, 1904. During the 104 years that we were blessed to have her we enjoyed her flowers, cooking and most of all the conversations of the way things used to be.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Julia Ann and James Manning Burleson; her husbands, Hiram E. Black and Robert L. Smith; five sisters, four brothers and three sons, Leon, Lawrence and Burnis Black.
Surviving are her two daughters, Virginia McDaris, of Asheville and Martha Lumston, of Arden; 14 grandchildren; 15 greatgrandchildren and 4 greatgreat-grandchildren.
The funeral service will be held at Anders-Rice Funeral Home with the Rev. Gary Haynes officiating.
Burial will be in Green Hills Cemetery with Graham and Robert Lee Haynes, Chuck McDaris, James Rice, Tim and Larry Black and Tim and Steve Gibson serving as pallbearers.
