A Time To Be Born

Mrs. Louise Smith was born to the parents of the Late Mr. Addis Bennett and Mrs. Mamie Fleming Bennett. Louise was on December 2, 1932, in Lake City, Florida. Being raised in an era in which she was, Louise knew at an early age what it meant to be a "Go-Getter" and what it took to survive.

The Lord blessed Louise to marry the love of her life Mr. Jack Perry "JP" Smith, who preceded her in death.

A Time To Work

While in Rochester, New York, Louise was employed by Xerox and Rochester Products. After relocating to Florida, she worked several factory jobs until her retirement.

A Time To Die

On January 24, 2022, Louise "Weezy" as she was affectionally called by family and close friends, heard the voice of our Heavenly Father say, "You have fought a good fight, you've kept the Faith, you have now finished your race." Having no fear of death Louise's soul winged its flight from this world of sin and sorrow to a place of eternal rest.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her son; Charles Bennett Smith, grandson; Jacob Carver and a number of siblings.
