Funeral services for Irene Williams Smith, 93, were conducted on

Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2024 from Greendale Church in Roxie.

Interment followed at Greendale Cemetery.

Born on Oct. 30, 1930, she was raised along with her brother, Carroll,

in Natchez. She met the love of her life, Williard Preston Smith, and

they were married on June 21, 1947. They newlyweds moved to Jefferson

County for Williard's work at the sawmill and she joined Greendale

Methodist Church, where her husband was already a member. They raised

their two children, Wayne and Beverly, on their family land, where they

remained for the rest of their lives.

"Nanny," as she was affectionately known by everyone, was famous for

her large spreads of country cooking. She cooked a full course meal

every day with vegetables that she grew in her garden. It did not matter

who was at her house, everyone sat down to supper together. Her table

was always full of good food, family, friends and sometimes a random

stranger who happened to be passing through. All were welcome at

"Nanny's" table.

"Nanny" was also passionate about her community. She loved almost

everyone. Her heart was so big and kind that she met every opportunity

to serve with great tenacity and intention. She loved serving people and

also keeping up with the latest activities with her friends. She had a

fun sense of humor, so there was always a group of people gathered

around her. If you wanted to know something, go sit by "Nanny."

She died on Friday, Aug. 9, 2024.

She is survived by her immediate family and son Williard "Wayne"

Smith and daughter Beverly Smith Stebbins; her grandchildren and their

respective spouses, Steve Smith, Elliott and Sarah Stebbins and Brady

and Beth Stebbins; her great-grandchildren and their respective spouses,
