Dorothy Marie Smith

Dorothy Marie Smith was born the 22nd of February 1929 to parents, Eugene Beatty Davis and Dorothy Lee Turner. She died on the 24th of October 2011. She was born at the old Seton Hospital and spent the rest of her life living in north Austin.

She was proud to be a member of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and the Daughters of the American Revolution. Marie devoted her life to children, her own and many more who found a safe and welcome place in her home. Her door was always open to anyone in need and she loved hosting gatherings for family and friends.

Being a mother was all she ever wanted to be and she excelled at it. She was a positive role model to her own children and all others that were fortunate to experience her love. To hold a child in her arms always made her happy. As matriarch of a very large extended family, she was frequently called upon for advice and readily gave wise counsel.

Marie’s passion has been passed on to her children. She will be greatly missed but her legacy will live on.

She is survived by her son, Robert Green, and his wife Tyree; three daughters, Karen Tweedy and her husband Steve, Carol June Green and Cynthia Marie Ivy; three brothers, James Davis and his wife Betty, Bobby Davis and his wife Fay, and Ronald Davis and his wife Carol; eight grandchildren, Lori Smith, Nancy Gresak, Jessica Green, Brian, Craig and Ross Tweedy, Brenton Christian, Katelynn Ivy, Mica and Cade Stevens; and ten great-grandchildren, Skylar, Parker, Presley, Rhyan, Charlie, Sidney, Jonah, Chloe, Mikayla, and Bryce.

Graveside services will be conducted at eleven o’clock in the morning, Wednesday, the 26th of October at Austin Memorial Park.
