Shirley Ann Smith
December 4, 1938 ~ June 1, 2020

Shirley Ann Smith "Gramma Shirley", age 81, a resident of Mannington, formerly a long-time resident of Metz, WV entered the arms of Jesus on June 1, 2020.
Shirley will be celebrated for her wonderful legacy and valuable life lessons, as we take great solace and comfort in knowing that she rest in her eternal reward in Heaven, until we meet again.

Shirley was born December 1938 to parents Arlie Ray and Emma Pearl (Wilson) Berry. She was the last surviving member of the Berry family. She was preceded in death by three sisters: Mary Sole, Clara Jean Berry and Carolyn Sue Stutler; seven brothers: Roger, Robert, Don, Charlie, Jim, Ralph (Biggie) and Albert (Abe) Berry and her first husband, Gerald Eugene Hinerman.

Left to cherish her memory, continue with the traditions and family bonds she held so dear, her loving husband of 44 years, Richard (Rick) Smith of Mannington, her children: Randy Eugene (Vera) Hinerman and Marsha Ann (Bob) Delaney of Fairmont, Robert Ray (Julia) Hinerman and Lori Lea (Ervin) Harvey of Mannington; grandchildren: Sarah (Antonio) Marcial, Amiee (Nick) Biro, Jamie (Brendan) Marble, Victoira (Ritchie) Livengood, Melodi (Chris) Egress, Mandi (Timmy) Martin, Robert (Katie) Hinerman, Joshua (Mariah) Harvey, Lauren Harvey; and precious great-grandchildren: Trey Martin, Tenlea Martin, Dean Egress, Madison Marble, Adalynn Marble, Carter Biro, Brayden Livengood, Aaron Livengood, Ryan Livengood, Abigail Marcial, and Mila Harvey.
Days after Shirley's passing, we are sure she lovingly escorted the two newest great-grandsons, Liam and Luca Egress, into this world by perfecting their finishing touched just before arrival. Shirley is also survived by a host of loving nieces, nephews, friends and neighbors.

Shirley was Methodist by Faith, and was a graduate of Hundred High School where she was active in the Press Club, a cheerleader, thespian, a member of the Yearbook staff, and assistant librarian. She was determined and worked hard. She attended classes at Fairmont State University (FSU) taking night classes to qualify for her work with Marion School System. She served as a secretary for many local elementary schools, and then moved Marion County Board of Education Central Office where she worked until her retirement.

To all who knew her, Shirley's personality was larger than life. She was their biggest support and cheerleader, often found on the sidelines and bleachers of sporting events, recitals, and concerts. She lived by example, never meeting a stranger, and was always being a constant state of support, love, grace, and understanding.

At her request, Shirley will be cremated and laid to rest at the Mannington Memorial Park Cemetery. The family will hold a private celebration to honor her beautiful life and memory at a later date.

Memorial donations may be made to the American Heart Association in her honor.
