Mary Lee Smith (Sizemore), born on March 7, 1948, in Phoenix City, Alabama, passed away on August 27, 2024, in Millbrook, Alabama at the age of 76. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Mary is remembered for her selfless love and contagious laughter.
Mary spent her professional life as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Merrywood Lodge, where she dedicated herself to the care of her patients with the same love and care she reserved for her family. Her nurturing nature was evident both at work and home.
She was a woman of many interests, including visiting yard sales, exploring thrift stores, and reading her Bible, which brought her much joy and peace.
Mary leaves behind a loving family: her husband, William T. Smith; children, William S. Smith, Tracy L. Smith, Misty D. Smith, James T. Smith, and Crystal L. Smith; grandchildren, Kaci L. Stettler, Brandi L. Smith, Thomas J. Smith, Madison R. Lee, Jessica N. Smith, Kollin M. Wochok, Hannah G. Smith, Alec Nix, Zach Stettler, and Loren Smith; and great-grandchildren, Elizabeth N. Smith, Evelyn R. Stettler, and Bryson J. Smith. She is also survived by her brother, David E. Sizemore. Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Mary and Robert Sizemore; brothers, Johnny and Melvin; grandchild, Amanda J. Smith; and an unnamed great-grandchild.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to One for Israel. The Alabama Funeral Home in Opelika, Alabama is assisting the family during this time. Mary’s legacy of love and care will forever be remembered by those who knew her.
