Elaine Kathleen Smith, a woman of great virtue and tenderness, walked into the loving arms of our Savior on December 28, 2024. Born on March 19, 1952, in the town of Potsdam, New York, Elaine's life was a testament to the virtues of love, kindness, and unwavering faith.

Elaine's heart knew the sweet embrace of love with her late, husband, James Smith Sr. Together, they nurtured a family that stands as a testament to their devotion.  Elaine's legacy lives on through her beloved children, Cece, (Jeremy) Olmsted, and Reggie(Ellie) Rattie Jr. Though her children Tracy Smith and James Smith Jr, and Parents Sherman & Kathleen (Dibble) Bullock, preceded her in heavenly repose, their memories remain as enduring as the stars above.

Elaine's sisterly love was shared with her siblings, Marlyne Miller and Sandra Moore, who, along with six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, 3 Nephews, 2 Nieces will carry the torch of her luminous spirit.

Today, as we bid farewell to Elaine Kathleen Smith, let us rejoice in the knowledge that she has found eternal peace and rest in the glorious kingdom of our Heavenly Father. Her light will forever shine in the hearts she touched, and her memory will be a guiding star to lead us onward.
