Evelyn M. Smith

With deep gratitude for a life so well lived, we celebrate the homecoming of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and faithful servant of God. Evelyn Smith was born November 17, 1928 and entered the life eternal on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026.

Her life was marked by unwavering faith and deep love for her family, especially her husband Richard Smith who died in 2014, and with whom she shared a loving marriage for 66 years.

Her legacy lives on through the family members who were impacted by the values she displayed and instilled in them: faith, loyalty, hard work, kindness and devotion to one another. She leaves behind her son, Steve Smith, M.D. and wife Kathy; her daughter Teresa Lubbers and husband Mark; five grandchildren, Jennifer Smith (Hunter), Krista Lotter (Ben), Luke Smith (Jenny), Betsy Thompson (Mark), Maggie Birk (Nick), and 16 great grandchildren.

While family was her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment, she also found purpose in her work at Morris Plan and the Metropolitan School District of Warren Township. In these roles she brought a spirit of determination and accomplishment each day. She was a longtime and active member of Franklin Road Baptist Church which provided spiritual growth, fellowship and many friends.

The family is grateful to the kind and caring staff of Westminster Village North. Friends may call on the family from 9:30 to11am on Friday, April 10 at Flanner Buchannan-Washington Park East. Funeral service to immediately follow at 11am. Memorial contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to Franklin Road Baptist Church.
