Life Reflections

Mrs. Shirley Martin Smith entered this world by Jehovah's will on November 27, 1947. She was born to the late Issac Bennett Sr. and the late Louise Marion Bennett. Shirley was called to be with her heavenly father on Monday, February 10, 2025 in her home surrounded by her loving family.

She was known to everyone as "Granny". She was loving, patient, and would give you anything you asked of her. Before her health failed, she enjoyed fishing, house cleaning, cooking, and she loved her animals. She will truly be missed. Shirley was preceded in death by three siblings Joseph Marion, Issac Bennett Jr., and Leola Bennett.
