Marlyn Francis Smith

Marlyn Francis Smith, 75, of Oxford, Ohio, passed away on July 6, 2026, at Hospice of Hamilton. Born November 3, 1950, in Hamilton, Ohio, Marlyn will be remembered with deep respect and grateful appreciation for the life she lived and the family she loved. Marlyn was preceded in death by her parents, Charles Little and Norma (Gobble) Little, and by her twin daughters, Karisa Smith and Kelly Renee Smith. She is survived by her husband, Phillip Smith, whom she married on February 14, 1975; her grandchildren, Conner Ray Smith and Dayten Griffin; her siblings, Linda Shafer, Mike (Sue) Little, and Karen (Gary) Daniel; as well as nieces and nephews. A faithful member of Oxford Church of the Nazarene, Marlyn’s life reflected steady devotion and a quiet strength that carried through the years—most especially in the love and care she extended to those closest to her. Her presence will be missed, and her memory will remain a lasting comfort to all who knew her. A gathering for family and friends will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2026, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at Webb Noonan Kidd Funeral Home, 240 Ross Avenue, Hamilton, Ohio 45013. A memorial ceremony will follow at 1:00 pm, with Pastor Ray Gilliot officiating. Condolences may be left for the family at www.Webb-Noonan.com.
