Helen Louise Smith

July 25, 1922 — January 23, 2012

Helen Louise Smith of Henderson, TN was born on July 25, 1922 in Portsmouth, Ohio, the fifth of ten siblings born to William S. Davis and Mary Elizabeth Burton Davis.



She was united in marriage to Elwood T. (Smitty) Smith. Mr. Smith preceded her in death on April 29, 1987.



Mrs. Smith was a homemaker and loved her family very much. She was a devoted wife who cared for her husband during his illness and also provided home care to others as a sitter. She was often referred to as an "Angel" to families in their time of need. She enjoyed reading and the Bible was her favorite book. She was on the "Prayer Force" at Church Triumphant in Columbus, OH and had been a member of The Springs Pentecostal Church in Bethel Springs, TN since 2006 when she made her home in Tennessee.



Mrs. Smith loved to crochet doilies and handkerchiefs and to nurture house plants. She was famous for her chocolate cake with mock whipped frosting, buckeyes, and sweetheart cookies (recipe cards available). She collected bells and coffee mugs, pictures of her grandchildren, and enjoyed traveling and especially loved to fly. Green was her favorite color and her family will be wearing green representing "Everlasting Life" (John 3:16).



I guess you already know there are angels masquerading as people walking around on this planet and Helen Smith was one of them.



Survivors of Mrs. Smith include two daughters, Barbara Young and husband Jeffrey of Bethel Springs, TN and Vickie Oliver and husband Mike of Groveport, OH; a son, Larry W. Smith and wife Diane of Portsmouth, OH; two sisters, Hazel Brigner and husband Paul of Sterling Heights, MI and Sue Sharp and husband Jim of Plant City, FL; 15 grandchildren; 31 great-grandchildren; 1 great-great-grandchild, and a host of extended family and friends.



In addition to her husband and parents, Mrs. Smith was preceded in death by a daughter and son-in-law, Cheryl Smith Hall and husband Gary Hall; a son, Robert Smith; a granddaughter, Tiffany Hall; and siblings Oralein Messer, Carl Davis, Charles Davis, Richard Davis, William Davis, Jr., Freda Bailey, and Betty J. Davis.
