Irene Smith, 72, was a very loving person and was loved by many people. She was caring, giving and loved to laugh. Her main focus in life was her son, grandchildren and her precious dogs, Bossie, Chester and Shekira. Irene also loved the church, New Beginnings located in Trussville at 3019 Whites Chapel Parkway. She is preceded in death by her husband Walter Francis Smith Sr., her mother and father and sister Liz Eason. She is survived by her brother Bud Cunningham, sister Linda May, son Walter Francis Smith Jr. (Heather), grandchildren Hunter (20), Taylor (18), and Katelyn (15), and various nieces and nephews. She is also leaving behind coworkers and many friends that will miss her and think of her often. Irene put everybody ahead of herself and was a very self-sacrificing individual. There were many times her faith in God was all she had to go through a day. These days are over for Irene. She is with Jesus who she loved and worshiped. A memorial service will be held at New Beginnings Church (Trussville) on Saturday Oct 20 at 1pm.
