Judith A. Smith

Judy received her angel wings on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 at The Carriage House surrounded by her family at the age of 78 years. Judy was born on September 3, 1939 in Bay City to the late Leonard and Dorothy (Duffy) Reed. She married Richard Smith on November 17, 1978 and he preceded her in death on April 12, 2012. She was a member of Our Lady of Peace Parish-St. Mary's Church all her life. Judy retired as a secretary from the Bay City Public Schools after many years. In her spare time she volunteered for the Good Samaritan Rescue Mission, and Hospice. She was also involved with the Kawkawlin River cleanup program and enjoyed sewing, crafts, golf, gardening and trips to the casino. Most of all she loved spending time with her family.

Per Judy's wishes cremation has taken place. A memorial liturgy will take place at Our Lady of Peace Parish-St Mary's Church on Monday, September 18, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. The celebrant will be Rev. Fr.
