Other survivors include three children, Hazel (Jason) Gheen of Piqua, John (Cassie) Reedy of Tipp City, and Loretta (Cory) Gray of Piqua; her daughter in law, Jenny Reedy of West Milton; ten grandchildren, Austin Reedy, Ashly Gunston, Dustin (Carly) Gray, Paige Gheen, Brianna Gray, Hunter (Savannah) Gheen, Lane Reedy, Landon Gray, Evan Chesshir, and Wesley Chesshir; six great grandchildren, Colt, Addisyn, Payton, Raelin, Grayson, and Wrenley; six siblings, Robert Smith Jr., Larry (Deb) Smith, Danny (Peggy) Smith, Sheila (Joel) Nunez, Johnny (Angie) Smith, and Samantha (John) Hanselman; her sister in law, Joyce Smith; also many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her brother, Clifford Smith.
Carolyn had her own cleaning service, Neat and Tidy, and took great pride in keeping her home and others clean and orderly. She was a dedicated, faithful member of Living Word Church, and was previously a Sunday School Teacher and made sure she taught her children and grandchildren to love the Lord and how to love others. Carolyn loved to travel to the beach and the mountains with friends and family, and enjoyed keeping a garden and had a wonderful green thumb. Above all else, her family was second to none. She joyfully had a hand in raising her siblings, her children, and her grandchildren, and was considered "Mom" to so many. She will truly be missed by all who loved her.
