With great love and heavy hearts, our Family announces that our ‘Momma, and Grammy’ Marian Ann Smith, 89, of Marmet, West Virginia, formerly of Barney, Georgia, passed away peacefully on March 4, 2026, at Hubbard Hospice House surrounded by her family.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away”. (Revelations. 21:4)
