Carolyn Dianne Smith

Carolyn Dianne Smith, age 60 of Harriman, formerly of Oakdale, passed away at Roane Medical Center on Saturday, March 17, 2018. Carolyn’s health has been declining for years, but her heart always remained joyful and she loved her family and friends from the Oakdale area.  For most of her life, Carolyn was a member of Pine Orchard Baptist Church. She was very active in the church choir, WMU and Sunday School. However, in the last couple of years, due to declining health, she no longer was able to attend. God gave her opportunities to attend Boswell Chapel Baptist in Oakdale and she joined the church and found such a gracious, loving church family. Carolyn was very blessed to have both as church families.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Lois Ruth (Byrd) Smith;

Sister, Donna Ruth (Smith) Davidson and niece, Amanda (Lawson) Souther.

Carolyn is survived by one brother, Benton Smith and wife, Kathy;

Sisters, Christine Chapman and husband, Randy and Kay Johnson and husband, Tim, all of Oakdale;

Nieces and nephews, Amy Smith Gibbs, Gregory Smith, Todd Smith, Tyler Johnson, Rudy Chapman, Cory Johnson, Leslie Chapman, and several great-nieces and great-nephews.
