July 4, 1957 – October 31, 2025
Mary Francis Smith, 68, of Opelika, Alabama was called upon to join our Heavenly Father on Friday, October 31, 2025 at The Bethany House in Auburn, Alabama. Her husband, Terry Smith, was by her side for this final journey.
There will be no memorial service held at this time. Mary’s final wish was a simple cremation. She had no desire for
her loved ones to worry over arrangements. Her only request was one final trip to the ocean side! Which will be honored.
Mary was born on July 4, 1957 in Phenix City, Alabama. This would be the start of her everlasting love for holidays. Mary was the daughter of Gordon and Bertha Grimes, she was preceded in death by both.
Mary played so many roles in all of our lives. She was a deeply loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother, and not to be forgotten, a friend and confidant to those who were lucky enough to cross her path. Her excitement for every holiday was immense! She loved spending time with her family, including doing what she could do to make everyone’s lives a little easier. Her presence will be forever missed!
Survivors include her husband, Terry Smith; sister, Joyce Satterfield; daughter, Shasta Marie Milam; and four grandchildren, Cheyeaene, Madison, Hannah, and Ashton Milam.
