She had a beautiful smile, a perfect hug, and always made everyone feel important. Mary loved her 2 children, Linda Jo (married to David Fawson and Michael (married to Kristen), 12 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren and especially her husband, Clyde Smith. It took Clyde eight years to convince Mary to marry him, but they were finally married in 1959, and later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. This May, they would have celebrated 62 years.
Mary was born January 5, 1935, she grew up in Magna with her two brothers (Edwin and Robert) and her mom (Dianthe Emelia “Millie” Slater), a widow. She was an athlete, cheerleader and beautiful soprano singer at Cyprus High School.
Mary was a faithful member of the LDS church. She worked for MaBell for 35 years. One of Mary’s favorite pastimes was supporting her kids and grandkids in all their activities.
Her favorite trip was to New York, when she was 19, with her girlfriends and she would regale her grandkids with stories of that epic adventure. Later in life, she loved to travel to Hawaii, Branson, take Alaska cruises, and so many more.
Mary Smith passed away on April 26, 2021. Graveside services will be held for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Utah Humane Society. She loved her little dogs and cats.
