Donna Monteen Smith, age 73, passed away peacefully December 17, 2020 due to diabetes and congestive heart failure. She was born March 2, 1947 in Ooltewah, Tennessee to Carl and Annie Lynn. She eloped and married her longtime friend and love, James Nathaniel Smith, in October of 1960 who preceded her in death in 1994.

Donna loved to love on people. She sewed dolls and little quilted sayings constantly. Her hands were rarely still. Raggedy Annes and Andies were her favorites. She also shared her love with food such as fresh cut fries for her grandsons, lasagna and real fried chicken.

Her life was a living example of her favorite Bible verse, Ephesians 4:32 — “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.”
