Benny M Smith

On March 4th, Mr. Benny M Smith finally broke free from the terrible hold Alzheimer's had on him.  You can now find him in Heaven most likely mowing some beautiful green grass.

Benny was preceded in death by his parents, Ben and Agnes Cox Smith: siblings, Mary Belle and Ed Eslinger, John F and Bertha Smith, Ralph and Eunice Smith, Glenna Gribble, Christine Hicks, Felton and Ruth Smith and Troy Dunn. 
He is survived by his wife of 61 years,  Glenda Smith.  children Elaine, Greg, and Deborah Smith: sister, Betty Payne, sister in law Gail Dunn:  Grandchildren,  who he spoiled way too much, Courtney Oehlson , Tanner Ball and Paige Dean: Great-grandchildren Knox and Kash Oehlson and Memphis Ball: Many nieces and nephews and their families also survive 
Per his instructions, there will be no funeral instead there will be a Celebration of Life Gathering Saturday, March 7th at Mt Rachel Baptist Church from 4 - 8 pm.
