CAROLYN HOLMES SMITH

Funeral services for Mrs. Carolyn Holmes Smith, age 77, of Columbia and 
formerly of Winnsboro, will be held 2:00 PM Saturday October 18, 2014 from 
the sanctuary of Temple Baptist Church in Winnsboro with Rev. Jimmy Harper 
officiating. Interment will follow in the New Winnsboro Cemetery under 
direction of Riser Funeral Home of Columbia. Visitation will be on Friday 
October 17, 2014 from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm at the church.

Carolyn Holmes Smith was born on June 28, 1937 at Winnsboro, Louisiana to 
the union of her parents Clarence Holmes and Mary Henrietta Robinson Holmes. 
She passed from this life on Wednesday October 15, 2014 at the Citizens 
Medical Center in Columbia following an extended illness.

Carolyn was a very loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, 
great-grandmother and friend. She was always giving of herself to others and 
so many times wore the title of caregiver. Her love to her family and 
friends was truly unconditional, and she will always be remembered for her 
lovely smile and sweet demeanor. She was extremely active in her church 
having taught Sunday school for so many years , participating in Bible 
school, and always being faithful to her church, and her Lord, and again 
always looking for a way to help others. Carolyn began her career with Bell 
South simply as a payment teller and continued and served in so many 
different positions until her eventual retirement as Marketing 
Representative. In her latter years she was an inspiration to her family and 
friends as she faced her battle with Parkinson's Disease so bravely. She 
will be missed greatly by all who knew and loved her, but she will never, 
ever be forgotten.

Left to cherish her memory: her husband of 56 years, Glenn Crawford Smith of 
Columbia; two sons: Randy Smith and wife Jan of Grayson, and Kenneth Smith 
and wife Debbie of Downsville ; her daughters: Cynthia Baird and husband 
Bruce of Granbury, Texas; and Vicki Riser and husband Neil of Columbia; her 
brother-in-law: Dale Smith and wife Renee of Farmerville; her beloved 
grandchildren: Brandon McGraw and wife Cortney, Mandee Brown and husband 
Charlie, Ben Smith and wife Lynden , Jacob Smith, Michael Smith, Caleb 
Smith, Morgan Smith, Mary Katherine Smith, Ethen Smith, Randi Smith, Ian 
Smith, Emilie Riser, Allison Riser, Megan Reitzell and husband Jay; one 
great-grandchild: Skylar May Brown; two nephews: Todd Smith and Darren Smith 
and wife Claire. She also is survived by a host of cousins.

Serving as pallbearers will be Caleb Smith, Jacob Smith, Brandon McGraw, 
Michael Smith, Todd Smith, Ben Smith, Darren Smith, and Ethen Smith.
