Geraldine Smith

Geraldine Carlisle Smith took her heavenly flight on March 18, 2020.
Geraldine was born on September 15, 1945, in Brookhaven.

A resident of Lincoln County, Geraldine resided in both Brookhaven and
the Fair River Community.  She was a lifelong member of Fair River
Baptist Church.   She graduated from Brookhaven High School in 1963 and
attended Copiah-Lincoln Junior College.

On May 6, 1966, Geraldine married the love of her life Darrel G. Smith.
They were married for almost 47 years until his death in 2013.

Geraldine had a special connection with people of all ages and touched
their lives. She worked with children when she drove a bus for the
Lincoln County School District.  Her greatest gift, however, was working
with the elderly.  She was a Certified Nursing Assistant and loved
caring for them for many years in area nursing homes.

Geraldine had a gift for making people laugh and she was also gifted in
writing poetry.  She would share her feelings and express her love
through her passion for writing poems.

Preceding Geraldine in death other than her husband are her parents,
Conaway and Louise Carlisle, sister and brother-in-law Carolyn and Vern
Kingsmill, and nieces Mary Leanne and Wendy Carol Kingsmill.

Geraldine is survived by her sisters Lavenia Townsend (David) of
Baytown, TX and Crickett Carlisle (Jimmie) of Brookhaven.  Geraldine is
also survived by her five beloved nieces and nephews whom she loved as
if they were her own and gave them special names. Davida “My Baby”
Rosser (Beau) James “Fleabop” Kingsmilll (Deborah) Kevin “Little
Man” Townsend (Diane), Beth “Screwworm” Schlauch (Wes) and Anita
“Heathcliff” Boyd (Chris).  She is also survived by an aunt, Nonerle
Hanshew of Sontag, special cousin and friend Mary Lane Posey (Junior).
She is survived by her “little dog” Precious.  She is also by
survived numerous great-nieces and nephews, one great-great niece, many
cousins, and too many friends to count

In lieu of usual remembrances, the family requests that donations be
made to offset her funeral and burial costs. Any remaining funds will be
designated to the ministries of Fair River Baptist Church.  Donations
can be made out and mailed to Davida Rosser at 214 Prairie St.
Highlands, TX 77562. Please designate Geraldine Smith Memorial on the
memo line. We appreciate your gifts, but most importantly we treasure
your prayers during this time.

A memorial service will be planned and held at a later date.
