Clara Smith

On February 22nd we lost an absolutely amazing, beautiful soul who will be greatly missed. Clara Ann Smith of Stone Mountain was a wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend. She was happiest when adventuring on camping trips with her family, quilting masterpieces, crafting works of art, whooping folks at card games (Granny rules only), rooting for the good guys at wrestling matches, doting on her pet birds and tiny dogs, planting flowers, gardening and getting anything green to grow, filling and watching her many wild bird feeders, or taking care of family. She was a tiny woman with a big personality. She was called Granny or Aunt Clara by most because, even if you weren’t a blood relative, Granny was going to treat you and love you like family.

She is survived by: Husband (of 65 years!!), Papa Willie Mack Smith. Daughter, Diane Smith. Grandchildren, Nickie Smith, Susie Smith, Margie Ervin, Jamey Ervin, Christina Aderhold. Great-Grandchildren, Alex Clowdus, Hunter Allen, Emerson Ervin, Anderson Teague, Ashlyn Ervin, Cory Ervin. Sister-in-law Mary Katy Powell, Brother Gary Powell, and daughter-in-law/sister-in-law/angelic caretaker Carol Powell.

She is preceded in death by: Son, Derrek Smith. Grandson, Dustin Jackson. Brothers, Jimmy Powell and Howard Powell.

Visitation will be held at Wages and Son in Stone Mountain, Saturday, February 25th, 5pm-7pm.

Funeral will be held on Sunday at 2pm, also at Wages, with a graveside service to follow at Stone Mountain Cemetery.
